Learn to sail on the Norfolk Broads with Martham Boats, in association with The Norfolk Broads School of Sailing. Tuition with RYA instructors is available on day sailing boats and our Broads sailing yachts.
Whether you are trying sailing for the first time, returning after a break or developing existing skills, contact us to discuss tuition suited to your experience and goals. Tuition sessions have a minimum duration of three hours.
Day Sailing and Taster Sessions
A half-day or full-day taster session on an open half decker is a way to experience sailing before committing to a longer trip.
Under the guidance of an experienced helm, you can take part in handling the boat, steering and trimming the sails. If you would prefer a less active role, let us know when booking.
Depending on the conditions, your trip may take you towards Horsey Mere or Hickling Broad. The route and activities will be chosen to suit the weather and your group.
Tuition on Sailing Yachts
Your instructor joins you at the boatyard, helps you become familiar with the yacht and guides you through practical skills on the water. Tuition can cover handling under power, mooring, manoeuvring and sailing, according to your experience and the boat.
For tuition arranged over several days, your instructor joins you for the agreed daytime sessions. Please discuss the timetable and overnight arrangements with our bookings team.
Everyone learns at a different pace. The amount of tuition you need depends on your previous experience, confidence, crew and the conditions. Completing a set number of hours does not automatically mean you are ready to skipper a yacht independently. Please discuss your plans with us before booking.
Refresher Sailing Tuition
Already sail but want to refresh your skills? Tell us what you would like to practise, and we will help arrange a personalised session. This might include sail handling, manoeuvring, mooring or building confidence sailing on the Broads.
Plan Your Sailing Session
When enquiring, please tell us your preferred dates, the number of people taking part and their sailing experience. We can confirm the suitable boat, group size, instructor availability and current price.
