Findhorn Sailing Squad

Kids sailing sessions and camps. Fun, friendships and new skills!

  • 3 hours - Full Day

We believe the best sailors are made by spending time on the water. Confidence grows through experience, friendships are built, and skills develop naturally week after week.

We run these sessions every Saturday in the shoulder season and every day through the summer.

Book your child in for one session, a full day, or multiple sessions and let them experience the joy of sailing and improve their skills each session!

Our P5-7 pupils benefited from 6 weeks of weekly sailing during the summer term. Despite poor weather for the first few sessions, the team made the experience enjoyable and engaging for the pupils. All our pupils thoroughly enjoyed their Tuesdays in Findhorn, learned new knowledge and skills, built their resilience and learned how to work together to sail! On the final sailing day we were blessed with beautiful sunshine and just enough wind to show off our newly acquired skills.

Dallas Primary

Had a great sail after hiring two boats for the family. Really friendly staff, good kit, and a beautiful location for a trip on the water.

James Hewitt

2x kids booked on an RYA stage 2 course all week. They had a fantastic time despite some testing (very windy) weather conditions. I wouldn’t trust anyone else except Jane to enthuse the joy of sailing into my offspring. Will 100% be back — already planning how we can escape the hustle & bustle of normal life again before the end of the summer! The water taxi was a huge hit with our younger and older members who weren’t up for the sailing. It even came with some fantastic local tour guiding for good measure.

All in all, a great week was had by all in the most incredible surroundings with a brilliant facility, well maintained quality kit and some excellent tuition.

Oli Webster

Completed our level 1 as a group of four adults. The staff and facilities were great and they really tailored the course to meet our needs. Would definitely recommend.

Owen McDonald

Needed to cross the bay for a run between Elgin and Nairn. They agreed to take me across even though they are closed in Winter. Really helpful and great communication. Thanks guys.
