✨ Last week’s Competent Crew course was one for the books!

Our students spent their days learning, sailing, and soaking up some of the most magical moments the ocean can offer — including a pod of dolphins and even a whale cruising alongside the boat. 🐬🐋💙

Nothing beats the energy on board when nature shows off. Huge shoutout to Instructor Robbie Ash for guiding the crew with skill, patience, and that classic Yachtmaster stoke.

If you’re ready for unforgettable experiences on the water, join us at Yachtmaster Sailing School.

Meet Marlon Jones;

With over 21 years of sailing experience, Marlon is at the heart of Yachtmaster Ocean Sailing School — a true ocean lover and all-around legend on the water. 🌊
Marlon first set sail with the Izivungu Vungu Sailing Foundation, where his lifelong passion for the sea began. Since then, his journey has taken him from racing yachts along the Cape Coast to Mediterranean sailing holidays, and even working with North Sails, one of the most respected names in the sailing world.
For the past 10 years, Marlon has been a dedicated instructor for both RYA and SAS courses, sharing his expertise and ocean wisdom with students of all backgrounds. Whether he’s coaching future skippers or trimming sails in a regatta, Marlon brings the perfect mix of skill, humour, and heart to everything he does.
When he’s not out teaching or racing, you’ll find him fishing off the back of a boat, soaking up the peace and quiet only the ocean can offer. 🎣
We couldn’t ask for a better Chief Instructor — a brilliant sailor, a natural teacher, and a genuinely fantastic person who makes everyone feel at home on the water. 💙

⚓️🚤 Docking like pros in the making! 🌊🧭 Our Day Skipper Practical students are mastering one of the most essential boat-handling skills — docking. With steady hands, clear communication, and a keen eye on wind and tide, they’re learning to approach the dock with confidence and control. 💪🌬️🌞 From understanding prop walk to perfecting spring lines, these future skippers are gaining real-world experience that builds both skill and seamanship. It’s not just about parking a boat — it’s about planning, teamwork, and staying calm under pressure. ⛵🗺️🧠 Every docking attempt is a lesson. Every line tied is progress. And every smile at the end of a successful manoeuvre says: “I’m getting there.” 😎👏 🌅🚢🪢
