| 2022-08-08 13:56:25 |  5 Stars | Brilliant week with Scot Sail. Our nerves quickly disappeared after meeting our superb instructor, George. We were made to feel extremely comfortable throughout the entire week and even the kids had a great time.
Could not have booked a better place to do our Competent Crew and Day Skipper courses! |
| 2018-08-03 17:50:53 |  4 Stars | We would like to take this opportunity to thank ScotSail for a very professional, enjoyable and fun experience on our recent Day Skippers Course.
Credit must go to our Skipper Mike Swann for his professionalism, knowledge, experience, and ability to instill confidence in his students with varying experience consistently over the 5 days. Mike made this one of the most memorable learning experiences for both of us and is a credit to ScotSail. |

| 2018-07-30 20:22:21 | 4 Stars | Our instructor Mike Swan was incredible. He was a fountain of information and very patient, from dawn to dusk (and later). He has the stamina of Mo Farah. And the voice of a young Tom Jones. The latter was essential for sea shanties when we needed some team bonding. Thank you for an intensive and highly effective Comp Crew course. |

| 2018-05-13 15:19:10 | 5 Stars | Three different weekends provided three different drills for MOB and certain other drills.
Some uniformity between instructors may help consolidate some of the instruction delivered. |
| 2018-05-13 15:12:14 | 4 Stars | Nick was energetic and enthusiastic and delivered a great experience.
It was disappointing to discover that a single late arrival forced the abandonment of our proposed Fri eve departure. |
| 2018-05-11 11:52:31 | 5 Stars | Phenomenal instructor. Learned so much. |
| 2018-05-11 11:49:57 | 5 Stars | If it were possible to give an excellent rating for everything I would have done. I have done several courses in the past but this one outstripped all of them. Pav is the best instructor I have ever had. The course exceeded my expectations in every way. I will be back. |

| 2018-05-06 15:19:49 |  3 Stars | The instructor did not seem to be able to divide his time between his students effectively.
The only think I can recall learning on Saturday was that I taught myself to reliably tie a bowline.
I mentioned this to him after the first day and he made a great effort on the Sunday.

| 2018-05-06 15:06:19 | 4 Stars | Would prefer to set off on the Friday, felt this was lost time; unnecessary to arrive at 7pm when we didn’t leave until the next morning |
| 2018-05-06 15:03:45 | 5 Stars | Leave on Friday night |
| 2018-05-06 14:53:08 | 5 Stars | Brilliant experience. Highly recommend instructor in the face of Pavlina. |

| 2018-04-27 11:11:09 | 3 Stars | I should have done a theory course first. The first day was a baptism of fire. Engine troubles were frustrating, but when we were sailing I learnt a lot and feel safe and confident onboard. |

| 2017-10-22 12:56:35 | 5 Stars | Pav and Sam were excellent instructors and if possible would request either for my next level.
Great weekend despite the weather. |
| 2017-10-22 12:53:30 | 5 Stars | Pav and Sam were fantastic. I learnt significantly more on this weekend than I did on my previous ones. They were patient and focussed on teaching us. If I were to do further courses, I would request these guys. The only bad thing is that it made me realise the other weekends with another instructor were not that good and I would be a much better sailor had I completed all three weekends with pav or Sam. |

| 2017-10-20 13:12:30 | 5 Stars | Very enthusiastic instructor. Very flexible according to our needs. |
| 2017-10-20 12:56:17 | 4 Stars | A very good course; instructor was to the point so there was no misunderstanding as to what you would achieve from the course depending on experience..... he also could cook! Lol
Looking forward to getting further experience so that can eventually progress to dayskipper. Thank you |
| 2017-10-20 12:52:49 | 5 Stars | Very pleased with our instructor. He explained everything very well with us. And clarified things with us if we were not sure. |

| 2017-10-20 12:25:07 | 5 Stars | I should have done coastal skipper theory before doing this CS practical - I did pick up a lot of useful info/tip |
| 2017-10-20 12:21:42 | 4 Stars | Pav was excellent, very competent, contained at all times and patient. The course was well organised and informative. The only thing I could comment on was - we sailed in stormy weather on the first day, almost all crew beginners, I think it would be much better if the instructor introduced herself in more detail, with past experience etc, that would have been much more reassuring. Overall absolutely brilliant week on board. |
| 2017-10-20 12:15:07 | 4 Stars | Thanks Pav. First day was a bit scary. |

| 2017-09-29 14:10:01 | 5 Stars | I booked this course to gain experience having already qualified as a day skipper. The skipper (George Junek) was excellent. Calm, knowledgable and a brilliant teacher. The boat Delius was a little tired and experienced a number of issues with equipment which George worked around admirably. He made the week excellent. |
| 2017-09-29 13:58:06 | 5 Stars | An exceptional instructor who instructed everyone on board (various levels) to a superb level.
The instruction was extremely motivational and inspiring. A very amiable and personal young man. |

| 2017-09-17 14:54:32 | 5 Stars | George was very good. Professional and fun. I would say, it would be good to hear more theory from him as were sailing as to why somethings were being done. |
| 2017-09-17 14:51:25 | 5 Stars | The 3rd week end with George was far better with my second instructor and was told by graham that I would have another weekend for compensation, I would like to arrange the next weekend as agreed.
I would like to learn further with George.

| 2017-09-17 14:46:19 | 5 Stars | Good weekend. Practice of pontoons was very useful. Overall excellent. |

| 2017-09-15 12:58:05 | 5 Stars | I thoroughly enjoyed the course- Pav is an excellent instructor, "firm, fair and fun".
She was very encouraging and inspired confidence.
I will definitely recommend the course and if I decide to train to Coastal skipper standard, I will return to ScotSail.
Thank you

| 2017-09-08 13:31:04 | 4 Stars | Excellent tuition but I was hoping to have some practice with slab reeling. The boat had in mast reeling. Other than that a great course! |
| 2017-09-08 13:23:56 | 4 Stars | The crew came together and sailed the boat really well at the end of the course.
I was able to challenge myself and felt well supported throughout. A great time was had by all. |

| 2017-09-08 12:14:10 | 5 Stars | I know previous experience is not necessary but perhaps some pointers on the booking website for reading material / revision prior to course would help some |

| 2017-09-03 16:39:13 | 5 Stars | Fantastic and informative experience
I would recommend it highly to everyone |
| 2017-09-03 16:36:39 | 4 Stars | Very quick-paced for a complete novice but very informative and covered key areas well. Instructors were very calm, well-informed and good communicators; light-hearted in the right measure. I felt, for me as a novice, I needed more detail about boat-handling concepts and manoeuvring since I'd never encountered these principles before. Other students more advanced so maybe that contributed to the pace of information also. |
| 2017-09-03 16:18:56 | 5 Stars | First class experience,I'm really looking forward to continuing with further training courses |

| 2017-09-01 11:56:50 | 3 Stars | Great school, but boats need better service and perhaps for certification- a trial should be given before assessment of competence or else make this clear when booking that no instruction will be given on areas such as navigating and pilotage.

| 2017-08-11 12:10:26 | 4 Stars | Appeared to be a smell in port side heads which prevented 5 stars. Great fun well structured taking advantage of all weather situations. |
| 2017-08-11 11:55:43 | 5 Stars | Fantastic instructor. Lucky with weather. |
| 2017-08-11 11:52:55 | 5 Stars | Fantastic instruction and information from Patrik who is an outstanding instructor. The booking process can be a bit confusing as it is all web based although Graham was extremely helpful when I spoke with him. It would have been nice to have had a slab reeling boat from a sailing point of view but that is a small criticism. I had an excellent time and would be happy to recommend Scotsail and to book again. |

| 2017-08-04 11:00:15 | 5 Stars | Our skipper was excellent, very experienced, really good teacher responsive to the different needs & requirements of each crew member, patient & thorough, unfailingly polite and also a good companion. When unexpected problems arose he was calm, always had a strategy for dealing with it - my learning curve was steep, my understanding at the end of 5 days was so much greater than I expected. I have learnt something of day skipper practice that I didn't expect and greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

***MANAGEMENT RESPONSE***

| 2017-07-14 13:30:50 | 5 Stars | Patrik is an incredibly strong instructor. His instructions and teachings were very clear and you always felt 100% safe. I liked how he combined theory questions with practical application. He conducted his questions in a way that didn't make you feel silly/uncomfortable if you didn't know the answer immediately, but rather found a way to help you learn it clearly so that you knew it more thoroughly the next time. |
| 2017-07-14 13:24:54 | 5 Stars | Excellent place to learn and the instructor was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and thorough. Surperb experience. |

| 2017-07-02 13:46:34 | 5 Stars | I thought the course was far more informative and comprehensive than I expected. The content of the course would allow me to be confident to tackle powerboating going forward. Thanks to Stephen and staff for the weekend. |

| 2017-06-24 21:13:44 | 5 Stars | Really great it was great to go to St Kilda. |
| 2017-06-24 21:09:40 | 4 Stars | Did really well to get to st kilda with weather we had. Well done danny. Thanks! |

| 2017-06-24 20:54:49 | 5 Stars | Getting to St Kilda is always a challenge. Danny did a fantastic job of planning and managing complex weather systems to give us the window to get there. He is a brilliant instructor that exudes confidence and seamanship in a very friendy way, a real pleasure to be with. The yacht is solid and performed very well.
I am very pleased with my Scotsail experience and will certainly be back.
Thank you. |
| 2017-06-23 12:46:43 | 3 Stars | I think George needs to be slightly more encouraging and teach positively |

| 2017-06-23 11:58:40 | 5 Stars | The instructor, Pav, was excellent. The adventure sail from Oban to Largs was a great blend of learning and fun. I would highly recommend Scotsail and Pav. |
| 2017-06-18 14:11:05 | 4 Stars | Instructions for booking could be better. Would also be good if confirmation mentioned that a table would be booked on the Friday for dinner so people don't eat beforehand. Everything else was great 👍 |
| 2017-06-18 14:07:44 | 4 Stars | Joining instructions could have been better and an inti art before arriving explaining schedule for the first night i.e. Table booked for dinner and cost to client. Apart from that I enjoyed the weekend.

Hi Richard, Thanks so much for the review - the restaurant you visited is one of two in the marina and is not connected to us in any way.
We do pre-book tables there for crews if they wish to join, but we've never had any such feedback about them before - as a result we took your comments (anonymously) and showed the manager. They said that they had run out of some main courses and specials on the evening you visited, and we asked the Instructor who echoed your comments, and agreed that some menu items not being available was disappointing.
The restaurant manager has said that they will try harder to ensure they don't run out of menu items, even on busy event evenings like yours. We told them that we would need to consider using the other restaurant more in future if our customers made similar comments in the future. We think they understand now(!) Thanks! |
| 2017-06-02 12:08:34 | 5 Stars | George was a fantastic teacher. Great course. Restaurant first night not great but everything else was great. |
| 2017-06-02 12:05:47 | 5 Stars | Only thing that let Scotsail down is the meal on arrival - poor service and had very little left to order from and to be honest what was ordered was mostly left as very poor standard. As for our instructor he was brilliant and such a friendly way of teaching and passing in his knowledge. Big thank you and plan to come back for my day skipper.

| 2017-05-05 11:15:44 | 5 Stars | Couldn't imagine a better instructor than George - far better than any other RYA instructors I've had before. Always happy, brought the group together well and was phenomenal at helpfully pushing for really high standards on the boat.
Was a bit surprised about the extra costs involved e.g. Kitty and price of the certificate.
***MANAGEMENT RESPONSE***
Hi Andrew, thanks so much for the feedback it really means a lot to us. Sounds like you had an awesome time! We note that this was booked for you by someone else that you came along with on a reservation for 2 persons; and that person was emailed all the booking info including the link to the FAQs etc where it was explained what's inlcuded and what's not.
The price of the RYA Photo ID Licence Card style certificates is £5 each, which is what the RYA charge us to buy them in for you. We can't charge you this up front, because you havent yet 'passed' the course, and others may be doing other courses which do not have Photo ID Certificates, e.g. Competent Crew, and the courses are flexible meaning you can decide on arrival and during the week what's best, so including it in the price wouldn't be fair on those not seeking to achieve a £5 photo-ID certificate like Day Skipper.
So when someone 'passes' the Day Skipper course and is eligible for a photo-ID certificate, they need to supply a passport sized photo and £5 to cover the cost of their certificate and registration.
This is detailed on our website FAQs and joining instructions under its' own heading.
All on board meals snacks and drinks etc are included, but if you as a crew decide to do any extra activities such as visiting specific marinas that charge for facilities or you want to go out for restaurant / bar meals ashore that aren't included, the group normally makes a 'kitty' to go and do that, and it can be fun to realx ashore once or twice a week in this way.
It may be that the person booking this for you read this information but that you didn't and so leading to the confusion.
Anyway, were glad that you enjoyed and passed the course!
All the best :) |

Hi! You're absolutely correct, and just as you walked out a new mainsail was delivered for this boat we ordered last week, as well as a few other items!

There were hidden costs which were expensive and we weren't made aware of beforehand, which was poor customer service.

Hi Emily, Thanks so much for the feedback, it's really important to us. We note also that you were part of a private group of 5 persons for a sailing weekend booked by just one member of your family on behalf of you all, for a 60th birthday experience, and so perhaps as it was booked for you you didn't have the opportunity to read the website FAQs and Joining Info beforehand: all on-board meals, snacks and drinks are included, but any visits to marinas or shore locations away for restaurant meals or activities ashore are the clients' costs, and we do have a 'kitty' style system to help people split up the cost of going ashore should they choose to do that and put a few pounds into it to go or stay ashore at a specific marina. We hope that helps to explain things a little better, but we thank you for letting us know! |

Hi! Thanks for letting us know - we have now ordered a brand new mainsail being delivered from Southampton late April 2017, as well as a few other items! Keeping complex sailing yachts maintained is a full time job but we really appreciate the feedback, and glad you enjoyed the course! See you again soon! |
| 2017-04-14 11:53:40 | 5 Stars | Fantastic experience!
|
| 2017-04-14 11:51:53 | 4 Stars | Julia was fantastic! Helpful, patient and encouraging. The boat, Jon Boy, mainsail was badly furled before we started, was fixed again and then got stuck again, which deminished the sailing experience a little. Several berth lights were broken.
Otherwise it was all wonderful! Thank you

| 2017-04-14 11:20:44 | 2 Stars | Good week. Not entirely what I was expecting but worthwhile gaining coastal certificate |
| 2017-04-14 11:17:14 | 4 Stars | I really enjoyed the week and appreciated the chance to spend time helming, especially close quarters manoeuvring - it can be difficult to get this experience on others' yachts.
At times some instructions were not quite clear but I think this was mainly a language issue.
Pleased to have passed the course, thanks. |

| 2017-03-17 13:13:08 | 4 Stars | Great experience, I thoroughly enjoyed it, although it was very intense. Very straightforward and effective teaching from the instructor. It would be helpful to put information about hidden costs flr cleaning, meals and marina fees on the website. |

| 2017-03-17 13:05:46 | 5 Stars | Superb experience, felt very safe with George, enabling us to experience sailing in conditions we probably would've avoided on our own. Now feel much more capable onboard. I felt the boats bed cushions and curtains were in need of replacement. |
| 2017-03-17 13:02:22 | 5 Stars | George was excellent. Recommend clients bring mattress toppers and mention cleaning bill in advance. |

| 2016-10-21 11:51:04 | 3 Stars | Enjoyed the sailing and practical experience. Felt however that there was an imbalance in amount of opportunities to learn, in comparison with Day Skipper, given that both courses cost the same price. Found this aspect frustrating at times |
| 2016-10-21 11:45:49 | 3 Stars | Improve IT and website |
| 2016-10-21 11:43:33 | 4 Stars | Wonderful experience, I really had no idea what to expect - enjoyed every aspect of the course. The only thing That could have made it better would've been more wind!
Had an issue with the booking system, receiving multiple automated emails. |
| 2016-10-21 11:38:32 | 4 Stars | I think we could have go to another place instead of coming to Largs the night before. Maybe more time sailing .. Lost the first morning with the shopping !
Will be good to have another choice of sail in case there is not much wind ! Like spinnakers |

| 2016-10-09 15:16:03 | 5 Stars | I applied for the course on the day before the course. It was very easy to apply and I received a phone call from Scot sail soon after application. The two day course was compact and instruction was very clear and practical. Each candidate has a fair chance to drive. It has been a great weekend! Many thanks. |

***MANAGEMENT RESPONSE"""
Thanks for the feedback - genuinely helps us. The boats are cleaned and turned around on Sundays ready for the next crew, Sara who normally cleans the yachts couldn't come down to the marina that afternoon and as a result our Instructors had to do it quickly themselves, in addition to their own pre-arrival safety checks.
We're sorry if the yacht wasn't up to the usual standard on that day, and we've since made a permanent checklist for the cleaning items which is available to all Instructors, not just the cleaner, in case the cleaner is delayed or cannot arrive on that day as planned. Thanks again! |
| 2016-09-23 09:20:42 | 4 Stars | Brush was bald. Halyard and foresail sheets didn't hold in winch.
***MANAGEMENT RESPONSE"""
Thanks for the feedback message - the Yacht's Maintenance Rep has replaced the brush with a brand new one, and the sail winches are due their next service shortly at the end of September, as per normal maintenance of yachts.
Thanks again for letting us know! |

|
| 2016-09-09 13:29:55 | 4 Stars | Sally was excellent. All food should be included.
***MANAGEMENT RESPONSE"""
Thanks for the feedback - all food is definitely included and always has been; that's all meals, snacks and drinks on-board during course days.
Excluded is alcohol and a prepared or restaurant evening meal after Sunday night check-in as peoples' arrival times do vary greatly, meaning many have eaten already or arrive much later on making restaurant bookings difficult.
Apologies if this wasn't made clear to you.
Kindest Regards |

| 2016-09-09 10:33:37 | 5 Stars | Very good instructor, great temperament, he was very fair and gave good feedback. The boat was a good size and well equipped. Really enjoyed how we were all made to feel important and the jobs were rotated fairly. |
| 2016-09-09 10:29:05 | 3 Stars | Enjoyable course, was doing the course with a comp crew and didn't feel the instruction was in line with the guidance of zero experience which is the pre course requirement |
| 2016-09-09 10:25:36 | 3 Stars | I would recommend that crews are advised to take more time off-vessel, e.g. Have at least one evening meal during a week's course and or a lunch break off-vessel. During the week's course I spent only an hour or so off-vessel and started to feel quite weary and cramped by the conditions. A couple of breaks would have prevented this.
***MANAGEMENT RESPONSE***
Thanks for the feedback - genuinely much appreciated. This feedback is really unusual because most crews go ashore once or twice a day, for lunch and again at an island or village marina for a wander around / visit shops etc, so we decided to look into this one further with the Instructor and other members of the crew.
Whilst the others didn't feel quite the same as yourself, examination of the logbooks did show you did had quite a lot of sailing time and time on-board.
We think that our relatively new RYA Instructor was rather over-keen that week, and we've given them further guidance on making more time for island and marina stop-overs, as is the normal everyday practice on our yachts.
Thanks again for the message - feedback helps us improve - and glad you enjoyed it though!!

Some issues with sail being old but nothing that ruined enjoyment. Pav was great.
***Management Response***
Thanks for the feedback - the sail is 2 years old and has had a lot of use. Pav told us during the week it was becoming tired so we have already ordered a brand new one at £3,600.00 due to be fitted next week. Thanks for the feedback and glad you had a great time! |

| 2016-09-02 11:19:48 | 5 Stars | Enjoyed the lessons, felt a bit intense at times due to volume of info, maybe a little longer would be great! Had good variety each day. Some lines frayed and door catches need a little maintenance otherwise great boat and fab experience. |

| 2016-08-19 14:42:39 | 5 Stars | Thanks very much. Great facilities - well organised and run. Instructor was lovely and very knowledgable although could have made us be in control of the boat in tricky situations more often. Did Day S and the other day skippers didn't know a lot of the theory so the level was often low. All in all 9/10 experience!
However communicating with Scotsail was very difficult to book the course! Very frustrating. |
| 2016-08-19 14:32:39 | 4 Stars | Course was perfect. Booking process requires improvement |

| 2016-08-19 14:27:10 | 5 Stars | Brilliant skipper, fantastic facility's and really enjoyed my course. Only minor complaint would be that it was difficult to contact you initially to make our booking but overall didn't detract from a brilliant experience and wouldn't hesitate to recommend you!

| 2016-08-19 13:36:37 | 5 Stars | Sally our instructor was excellent - very calm, knowledgeable, encouraging and great to be with. I would highly recommend her and the course. |
| 2016-08-19 13:30:13 | 3 Stars | The westview sailing videos do not provide enough theory refresher. Students should be strongly advise to do the online theory course |

Top week end thoroughly enjoyed!! Mike James top instructor!

| 2016-08-07 13:00:27 | 5 Stars | Excellent instructor and I learnt a lot. The weather was good / challenging and it was good that the instructor assessed the level of the crew right. The only slight problem is with the website, it's not very intuitive. |
| 2016-08-07 12:55:08 | 5 Stars | Great week end to kick off the CC course. Mixed conditions but great instructors that kept the crew motivated. Felt safe at all times. Pav is a excellent and competent instructor. Boat great!
Would advise to include all costs in the course costs it gets a bit frustrating when asked to pay for extra things that we did not know. Not the instructor fault as I did not book through her. |
| 2016-08-07 12:51:04 | 5 Stars | A great experience. Weather was unpredictable but I always felt I was in safe hands. Pav was very patient and reassuring instructor . |
| 2016-08-07 12:46:25 | 5 Stars | Excellent introduction to sailing in some very challenging conditions.

| 2016-08-05 12:03:57 | 4 Stars | Sally was a really wonderful instructor. We learned a lot and enjoyed ourselves.
There were a few bits of equipment that were a little worn (winches, kitchen equipment), but otherwise the boat was nice. It also would have been helpful to have an outboard for the dingy. |
| 2016-08-05 11:58:49 | 5 Stars | Sally was an Excellent instructor. |
| 2016-08-05 11:17:14 | 5 Stars | Loved it all - will be back for some mile building and adventure sailing. Who knows I may bring my children so the can learn to crew for me! |

| 2016-07-22 12:33:18 | 5 Stars | Sally was great and taught us so much, always a delight to be around, very helpful, calm, perfect instructor.
The facilities down in the saloon was in fair condition, some mold in front cabin, felt a bit dirty. |
| 2016-07-22 12:29:07 | 5 Stars | Sally was great at explaining things and I learned more this week than I have in 18 yrs of owning a boat. Thank you for giving me the confidence to sail again after an enforced gap . |

| 2016-07-22 09:59:10 | 5 Stars | Pavlina was brilliant and really made the course extra special. Would be good if the website was modernised a little, and online bookings made easier. |

| 2016-07-17 06:45:28 | 4 Stars | Admin needs to communicate with students more efficiently.Instructor excellent,,, |
| 2016-07-16 22:13:39 | 4 Stars | Contacting Scotsail for details of the trip was very difficult. We got an email detailing us on the boat and skipper after we were already in the departure marina, although we couldn't read the email until 3 days later, when we had an Internet connection. |
| 2016-07-16 22:07:55 | 4 Stars | Very good holiday. Could do better with communications for arrival instructions and general information. Found it VERY difficult to get a reply from anyone when I had a query.
Ales was a excellent captain.
|
| 2016-07-16 21:58:47 | 4 Stars | Alex was a super skipper. The pre-trip organisation was poor- slow/no response to enquirers, no final joining instructions and the fact that we had a new skipper and boat! |
| 2016-07-15 12:32:02 | 5 Stars | Fantastic instructor (Simon) and great crew |
| 2016-07-15 12:32:00 | 5 Stars | Fantastic instructor (Simon) and great crew |
| 2016-07-15 12:29:44 | 5 Stars | I thought the boat bolero 4 was showing signs of well use, also the winch handles need replacing. Simon Mason was great instructor |
| 2016-07-15 11:59:09 | 5 Stars | Absolutely first-rate instructor (Simon Mason) - achieved even more during the week than I could have imagined. Only criticism is that the boat (Bolero) was a little tired (sails, winches, upholstery) |

| 2016-07-08 13:09:54 | 5 Stars | Great 5 days of sailing, very demanding for me, should have done a lot more of preparation / reading up before course. My last course. Competent crew, with Scotsail was last September. |
| 2016-07-08 13:03:39 | 5 Stars | Busy week, learned a lot great intruction |

| 2016-07-01 13:04:16 | 3 Stars | With no prior knowledge it was at times difficult to understand what was being asked of us due to the difficulty in understanding, but overall it was very enjoyable and I would come back again. |
| 2016-07-01 12:08:50 | 4 Stars | Really good week - learnt a lot. Would like to do further courses with Scotsail. Only thing is I didn't think there was quite enough money in the kitty at the start of the week to feed 6 people for 5 days. |
| 2016-07-01 12:04:39 | 5 Stars | Rob was an excellent tutor. Superb experience |
| 2016-07-01 12:02:52 | 5 Stars | Fab week learning to sail. Fabulous instructor who made the experience fantastic all round
|
| 2016-07-01 12:00:43 | 4 Stars | Rob was patient with us when we got ourselves into some sticky situations, very knowledgable and used his experiences to pass as much information as possible that I hope to absorb fully! I enjoyed learning from him.
Scotsail provided heaps of helpful information but I thought the competent crew book would be part of the course ( I had bought a copy for studying before). Also, I thought the float for a weeks worth of food & drink for 6 people was a touch too little. |
| 2016-07-01 11:28:48 | 5 Stars | Great course. Great instruction. Will be booking again. |
| 2016-07-01 11:26:26 | 5 Stars | Great instruction and really useful informative course. I will be booking again with Scotsail 😀 |

| 2016-06-26 14:18:17 | 5 Stars | I had a great weekend and felt very safe with Pav Who is an excellent teacher. I only felt a little unsafe when other students were handling the boat in strengthening winds. The boat Dileas needs a really good clean, there was mould in the cupboards and many parts were either broken/taped up or missing. One last thing that would be beneficial for a teaching boat would be to have all the ropes clearly identifiable by being different colours. I look forward to coming back and will be requesting Pav to help me complete my competent crew. Thank you |

| 2016-04-17 14:44:21 | 5 Stars | Excellent instructor |
| 2016-04-17 14:39:50 | 3 Stars | Overall good. Instuctor knowledgable but often would take over meaning we didn't learn as much as we could if we were aloud to do it ourselves. A few hidden charges. Thought all food was covered but had to buy our own dinner on Friday. All course levels taught on same boat. Held day skippers back and went over the heads of new sailors. Not very good environment for teaching no one learns anything |
| 2016-04-17 14:07:22 | 5 Stars | Good clear instructions from instructors nice boats nice area

| 2016-04-15 13:30:16 | 5 Stars | Excellent instruction and tips from Danny and Alex!
Just on Delias, the shower pump didn't work so cleaning was made more difficult. Apart from that all good.
Thanks for a great trip.

More proactive shore-based support would be appreciated. |
| 2016-04-15 12:59:43 | 4 Stars | Gwyn was a very competent instructor giving instructions clearly and calmly. He was able to rescue the yacht very able without causing the boat any more damage. I would be happy to recommend him.

| 2016-03-27 14:35:46 | 5 Stars | Instructors on both days were 1st class. Boats were excellent. Would recommend this course to anyone thinking about going on the water. |
| 2016-03-27 14:29:49 | 4 Stars | Very useful |
| 2016-03-25 14:23:00 | 5 Stars | Well organised. Very effective skipper. |
| 2016-03-25 14:18:28 | 4 Stars | There were a lot of hidden costs that were quite annoying, particularly in that they need to be paid in cash. These hidden costs are in the form of marina fees, sailing equipment, cleaning fees, certificate fees, etc. All of this should be included in the overall cost of the trip. Further, I think that more attention should be paid to the relationship of the student to Scotsail, i.e., one of client to service provider. |
| 2016-03-25 14:09:31 | 4 Stars | I think Paula was great but we should have had a bit more safety info on the first day esp man overboard and safety harnesses just in case anything went wrong on that first day |

| 2016-03-25 14:01:22 | 5 Stars | Paula was an amazing instructor with so much energy and enthusiasm!
Thoroughly enjoyed the course and learnt so much! |
| 2016-03-25 13:28:25 | 5 Stars | Good intensity on the course with variation in the days and exercises. |
| 2016-03-25 13:21:00 | 5 Stars | Had a great time, thanks. There was some issues with the booking. We asked for a separate berth for a 13 year old but he had to share in the end. We also asked to be on a different boat from the last course and we were assured we would be, but we were on the same boat again. Other than that the course and instructions were good. |
| 2016-03-25 13:09:37 | 4 Stars | Excellent instruction given, big difference between the people on the course which gave positives and more than a few negatives but overall very enjoyable course |
