Testimonials

My 5 day course from the the moment I stepped on the boat was a brilliant experience . I learnt so much from Roland , the fact that you are staying on the boat you are living and breathing sailing for the 5 days sharing experiences with fellow crew as well. On my trip we experienced strong enough winds with need to put up the storm jib up , we had tranquil bays to pull into ,rough seas , rain and sunshine .Enough just to take me out of my comfort zone but under the watchful eye of Roland. A brilliant experience that has made me a much more competent sailor with lots of skills to build on to increase that confidence
Thank you You Nikki and Roland again for a life changing experience. Jeff Moran. Day Skipper May 2017

It fulfilled all our expectations without being too intensive and was good fun in some beautiful scenery. Also picked up some day skipper knowledge. Jan, Dave & Ioan Ward Competent Crew April 2017

I can’t recommend Pembrokeshire Cruising highly enough. The training is extremely thorough but also relaxed and incredibly enjoyable. I have taken 3 courses and all the trainers have been fabulous. I have just completed Day Skipper and we had such fun! I can’t wait to come back for some mile building. Learning to sail is one of the best things I have ever done. Thank you Roland and Nikki! Ruth Ailwyn Day Skipper April 2017

Superb course – 10 out of 10! We had a fantastic time and Roland was a superb teacher. We loved the opportunity to get a feel for the boat, and I wouldn’t change a thing about the way the course was run. Fantastic to start to get a taste for the Day Skipper skills as well. Thanks so much – we’ll be back! Ben & Sian Martin. Competent Crew April 2017

My first trip on a yacht and I thoroughly enjoyed my time on board read more

A wonderful week and I met some lovely like minded people.
I hope to see you again soon. Nicholas Jones RYA Coastal Skipper March 2017

The mix of crew experience allows for much knowledge sharing which is invaluable. The relaxed manner of delivering the course makes for easier learning in what would otherwise be a stressful exam situation. One is allowed to make safe mistakes which again helps to cement that knowledge base. James Baker RYA Day Skipper March 2017

Really enjoyed it. Roland is a patient, good humoured and extremely experienced instructor, able to explain some quite complex topics in a logical , easy to follow fashion. The hands on experience was excellent, and I especially enjoyed the night navigation through Milford Haven. Also great to experience some rough weather in open water, and how to handle it.Thoroughly recommended! Dr Ewart Lewis RYA Day Skipper March 2017
