Internationally accredited sailing courses with YachtPro sailing school in Thailand

At YachtPro / Blue Wave Yachting, learning to sail is more than just teaching you the skills - we like to think we help to instill a love of sailing that every one of our instructors feel. In this way, it is easier for our students to learn and courses are fun.

It is also important to note that we rigorously optimize our student/instructor ratio to maximize the amount of time each student has direct access to the instructor. In addition, our training yachts are specifically set up for sail training.

Course Structure
At the initial levels, we ensure to maximize our time on the water with a combination of both theory and practice. We realize and understand that many students are spending their holidays with us, and want to enjoy the tuition and sailing on board, rather than pure classroom.

Included in the course prices:
  • Day Sailing Courses: Yacht running expenses, lunches, drinking water on board, Course Notes, the Examination and Accreditation Fees. Plus, a YachtPro T-Shirt

  • Live-aboard Courses: Yacht running expenses, meals, soft drinks, water & snacks, Course Notes, the Examination and Accreditation Fees. Plus, a YachtPro T-Shirt

  • Self Purchase Texts: We highly recommend the purchase of texts for both pre-study and continued development, before you leave. We do stock them in at the East Coast Marine Supplies Store at Ocean Marina (location/base of the training), but they are usually more expensive here due to freight & tax. Hence, a list of recommended texts is on our Texts and Books page
Booking Basis and Formats
Course formats are flexible to suit everyone, suitable for familes, couples and single people. The booking plans are as follows:

Certification
The passing of the course is based upon the opinion of the instructor. Students must satisfy the examination and show competence and confidence at their certified level to be successful.

This is important for everyone, and for us to be re-assured that you will be sailing safely.

For certification you will be required to complete written examinations up to and including the level attained.

Non Cancellation Policy
Our policy is that we shall not cancel courses should other students fail to attend or cancel their bookings.

Accreditations
To ensure your qualifications are recognized wherever you choose to sail, we are accredited with the International Sailing Schools Association (ISSA), American Sailing Association (ASA) and the Australian Yachting Federation (AYF). Each of these organizations issue International logbooks.

Insurance
We carry full insurance across all our vessels.
