You can’t imagine a better place for learning to sail than Gibraltar. Offering a temperate climate with more than 300 days a year of pure sunshine, the strait has to be one of the best sailing destinations in the world.
This amazingly sheltered area, wherein you may take sailing courses that range from novice sailor to Yacht master, is rich in marine life. Exciting encounters with dolphins, whales, sun fish, turtles, and even basking sharks scarcely go amiss on a day to day basis.
With many accredited sailing schools in Gibraltar, your classroom will be one of the best tidal training areas, where Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea, and Europe meets Africa. Along with Gibraltar’s spectacular scenery, you will be all set to create great memories whilst learning to sail.
If you’re looking to begin a new hobby, take a weekend or a week-long vacation sailing the waters around Gibraltar, or if you are looking to begin a whole new career in sailing, there are RYA certifications that will meet your needs, and are offered by the sailing schools in Gibraltar.
Get to visit first class marinas of the Costa del Sol, like Sotogrande, Estepona and Marbella. Cruise the picturesque beaches of Tarifa, Bolonia and for longer courses the Atlantic Portuguese coastline.
See African camels while stopping in at Ceuta in Spanish Morocco. More importantly, see all this while under professional supervision, with instructors who are accustomed to the waters and the marine life surrounding the area.
You can take a class with one of the sailing schools in Gibraltar that will range from Competent Crew, right up to your Yacht master, all of which are taught on new sailing vessels, teaching you everything you need to know to gain experience in sailing. The novice sailor will also encounter some strong currents and tidal rips, adding to his or her development.
If you’re already a well-qualified sailor, then Gibraltar still has something special to offer you, by virtue of the many wonderful sights and sounds that this area can give. Some courses will even cover other aspects of sailing, from boat maintenance to storm tactics.
Just think. One day you could be mooring in one of the Costa del Sol’s prestige marinas, the next practicing your pilotage skills in the busy Bay of Gibraltar, and the next planning a safe passage to Africa!
With reliable winds year round, its proximity to Spain for the EU traveller, incredible interaction with marine life, and a made for holiday climate, don’t neglect your chance for learning to sail at one of the many sailing schools in Gibraltar.

Brilliant experience sailing around Gibraltar. The entire coast is amazing. Other skippers in general are extremely friendly and welcoming, and the scenery and sea life is always in abundance. I never went to any of the sailing schools in Gibraltar, but couldn’t imagine a better place to learn if you are keen on sailing.
