My husband and I have just completed a two week day skipper course with Alfer Sea School in Gibraltar (www.alferseaschool.com) and had such a great time. It was our first time in Gibraltar and we were surprised to find that it is actually tidal. We visited Marina Smir in Morocco also Ceuta and Spain. The weather was warm and our skipper Alan was ...

We have just completed a week's charter with Atlantic Charters Racing in Gibraltar and it was everything we expected. The boat - Seawolf was immaculate inside and out. The skipper - Dave was very experienced and taught us more than we have every been taught by other sailing schools in the area. I highly recommend this school - you get exactly what they advertise on their website and more!!

We managed to get 5 friends together for 2 weeks, so no problems with strangers. I think we presented a bit of a challenge to the instructor, as we had 1 person who had never been sailing before, 2 novices and 2 experienced. Our instructor Clive was really brilliant and always had time for the total beginner, as well as setting challenges for the ...

We did Day Skipper with Trafalgar Sailing and were very happy with the whole experience. Our instructor was Keith, an embodiment of calm no matter what the situation. We would recommend this school to anyone. The only drawback, perhaps, is that the coast of Spain is not the most interesting place to sail. Mainly posh marinas and little local life.

thank you so much for such a geat experience. From the time we first made contact, we knew we had made the right choice of company - everything was wonderful!
Yours truly
Mary

I did my Coastal Skipper RYA course with Jim Field in Gibraltar and learnt more in one week than I thought possible. The boats are new, the food and accommodation is good and the course is quite challenging, most rewarding. The busy shipping lanes in the Strait, tide and local currents make a crossing from Gib to Morocco an interesting one. Jim was ...

I did both my Competent Crew and Day Skipper with Trafalgar Sailing School. Both the instructors I had were excellent and really boosted my confidence and understanding. The sailing area is varied and being able to explore both Morocco and Spain in one week was amazing.

I am planning on going back this year to do my coastal skipper and would highly recommend Trafalgar Sailing.

Having read Flurs comments I would like to give my point of view.

I did my RYA Day Skipper course with Trafalgar Sailing in Gibraltar and found them to be very professional. Our Instructor was a great laugh and worked us hard to get us up to speed with skippering the boat. We were never short of wind in the Straits and the ports we visited ...
