Having grown up sailing dinghies and yachts, Robin joined the Merchant Navy from school and soon became a Navigating Officer on general cargo ships trading to all parts of the globe. Coming ashore, Robin’s varied but essentially marine career, took him through marine electronics, HM Coastguard and Harbour Master. Entering a sort of semi-retirement in 2014 he and his wife, Teresa, cruised their own boat to the east coast of Sweden. Since then, Robin has enjoyed instructing RYA practical and shorebased courses. “Improving nautical skills is of course hugely important,” Robin says, “but I also like to get across the ‘essence’ of life onboard a boat – to experience and appreciate the marine environment around us”. Keith Profile Keith Miller RYA Yachtmaster Instructor Keith has over 20 years boating experience in both motor and sail. He is a RYA Yachtmaster Instructor and also has teaching qualifications for power boats and VHF radio. He has 3 Fastnet races to his name as well as a number of round Britain cruises, all as skipper. He has worked on the East Coast as an instructor for more than 10 years, as well as spending several seasons in Malaysia with Langkawi Sailing School. Keith is also a senior martial arts instructor for adults and children, and a founder member of the South Eastern Taekwando group. Asked why he does what he does Keith says ‘I just get a huge buzz from passing on my love of sailing to others, and helping them to develop their skills and experience.’

You won’t find any yacht charter business on the South Coast that will work harder to ensure you have a superb sailing experience on the Solent or beyond. We may be a small business, but we’re keen as mustard. Whatever your objectives are, we’re determined to help you meet them while having a load of fun, to boot. You’ll always talk to people who know the business and the boats inside out, and who can make decisions quickly. We’ll also get to know each other; you’ll never be just a booking form to us! Sail Squad is working hard to establish itself as a go-to milebuilding and yacht hire company on the Solent. To do that, we know we have to try harder, do more, be more responsive. But we’re up for it, and our customers can only benefit from such a can-do attitude. Whatever you need, we’ll bust a gut to make it happen – providing it’s safe, and providing it’s legal! We know what it’s like to go through the RYA sailing courses because we remember doing them ourselves. We’re not such salty old seadogs that we can’t remember what it’s like to learn to sail. So when you come milebuilding with us, we’ll be finely attuned to both the theory and practice you need for your next sailing course. Plus, the fact that we’ve chosen to base our yacht hire business on the Solent means we can offer you one of the most well-respected sailing experiences in the world. So if you’re looking for private yacht hire on the Solent (whether bareboat or skippered charter), or milebuilding experience for your RYA sailing qualifications, make sure we’re one of the companies you call. We promise you won’t be disappointed.
