Southampton Water Activities Centre

My kids started out nervous, but the staff are very welcoming and soon made them feel happy. They had a brilliant week and now love sailing. I felt very happy leaving my kids with the staff very professional and security was tight. I knew they were safe and having a good time. Worth every penny

I'd highly recommend SWAC. I have zero experience of being in boats, am in my late 50s, and was quite nervous about doing the 2 day RYA Level 1. The instructor, Jen was excellent...unfailing patient, completely calm even when we capsized it a fair few times.

The content was presented in a way that was easy to digest and we had lots of time on the water to have a play with what was taught.

Completed my Powerboat level 2 course here. The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. All equipment such as waterproofs/life jackets was provided. The RIB we used was about 7m long and with a 200bhp outboard it had more than enough poke. There were 3 of us on the course which allowed everyone to get a lot of time driving and with such a small group the instructor could really focus on each aspect of what we needed to learn so nothing felt rushed. Overall a really enjoyable experience.
