Learn to Sail by the best

Pavlos kontides, (cyprus) silver medal, london olympic games 2012 rolex sailor of the year, 2018, welcome to the royal malta yacht club sailing school.

At the RMYC Sailing School, we love sailing and are dedicated to providing high-quality sailing education to students of all ages and skill levels. Our focus is on delivering excellent sailing instruction while prioritising safety at all times. As part of the renowned Royal Malta Yacht Club, we have a rich history, including hosting the prestigious annual Rolex Middle Sea Race, a famous offshore classic in our sport.

The RMYC set up our Sailing School in 2014 along with SailCoach, an internationally recognised top-tier Olympic training organisation endorsed by World Sailing, the world governing body of our sport. Together, the Club and SailCoach worked to put a framework together that was suitable to the Maltese education system.

The result is a flexible, learn to sail program where lessons are  delivered into three-hour blocks instead of the usual weeklong course. This was a key factor in the RMYC Sailing School’s success as it offers flexibility to students to learn at their own pace.

Over the years, the RMYC Sailing School programme has grown to offer a wide variety of sailing experiences, starting from beginner learn-to-sail programmes to advanced race training for young racers.

Typically lessons start on the RS Quest, a dinghy suitable for families, and the Sailing School’s experienced instructors guide students through different levels.

As they improve, they can try other fun dinghy classes like the Bug, Optimist, RS Feva, and the ILCA (Laser) family of boats.
