Testimonials
I am just writing to say how much I enjoyed my course last week and that I achieved far more than I thought I would. Barry, our skipper/instructor; enabled me to gain confidence in my crewing skills and belief in my own abilities. Diana
Please accept my thanks for the excellent course last week. From start to finish the whole experience has been extremely well organised and very professional. You have clearly managed to achieve the difficult, subtle balance needed to remain a freindly, family firm whilst still providing real top quality arrangements. Roger
I wanted to write to express my thanks for providing me with such a fantastic five weeks' sailing as part of my Royal Marines resettlement. I was extremely impressed by the quality of both your equipment and instructors, whom I found to be incredibly professional, knowledgeable and good compamy. The fact that I managed to attain my Coastal Skipper MCA within this timeframe is clearly due to the quality of their tuition. Tom
I would just like to express my thanks and appresciation towards Cornish Cruising for all the help and support you and your team gave me in passing my Yachtmaster exam. I would especially like to thank Peter, our Yachtmaster instructor for the week, and say how very good he was at teaching us and explaining it in a very easy to understand, none complicated way.

Thank you for making my Yachtmaster course schedule work and for the excellent service I have enjoyed as a client of Cornish Cruising. I would not hesitate to recommend your company to others. Steven
I do not like sitting in classrooms and would normally lose concentration but with Kevin as our (ISAF) instructor that was never going to happen. With kevin's knowledge and very hands on approach the course was the most interesting and informative course I have done and I would like to thank Kevin for openiong my eyes to the very real problems encountered in a survival situation.

Having successfully completed the
Yachtmaster Development Programme last week, I would like to thank you and your
instructional staff for a first class experiences which delivered beyond my
expectations.
I chose Cornish Cruising for my course partly for your
location and range of sailing grounds, but was delighted to be taught by the
most professional instructors I could wish for, and enjoy a culture dedicated to
student learning, which you have established at Cornish Cruising. It was also a huge experience to
sail with the many and varied other students, from whom I learned a great
deal. Dave
Just to say "Thank you" for all your help in taking me from a novice sailor, to passing my Yachtmaster exam. All very much appreciated! My special thanks go to Peter for his patience and determination in showing me that I could actually do it! Helen
I was really delighted to have discussed with you my needs to do the Yachtmaster Offshore Qualification, and even though i had already Circumnavigated Ireland in 2002, You found a program that fitted my needs to get me the Yachtmaster QUalification and then my Cruising Instructors Ticket. I found your Instructors proffessional and willing, from the Classroom to Mileage Building, Your Yachts and Equipment First Class and you even arranged (apart from 4 Helicopter Lifts) some Heavy Weather Training, on several occasions when appropriate. Thanks to you for all your efforts and the efforts of your Training Staff. Karl
I just wanted to thank you and Cornish Cruising for such an enjoyable week sailing followed by another informative week of 5 Day Skipper Theory course. The milage builder from London to Falmouth was very well organised and despite a challenging time of year and less than ideal weather conditions the professionalism and skill of the skipper Barry and the thought and planning taken by Cornish Cruising made the week not only instructional but very rewarding in experience gained. The boat was first rate, the catering of a high standard and crew safety was thorough. The passages were well planned and the skipper made sure that there was maximum crew involvement to ensure maximun experience was gained. Much fun was to be had during our time on shore to balance the rigours of a long sail. It has served to confirm my love of sailing. The classroom work was equally professional and well taught. Dave was a skilled instructor who covered the material in a clear and knowledgeable manner. He was not only skilled in his knowledge but his enthusiasm for both the sea and sailing was contagious and made covering so much material a pleasure.
I will certainly be signing up for more cruises and also classroom based instruction. Desi
Thanks for another excellent course, and please pass on my thanks to Bob, too for his instruction. Julia and I have sampled various sea schools over the last 2-3 years and I have to say that the quality of what you offer is consistently above what we have seen elsewhere, from the kit, to the food and most definitely the instructors.
