Choose your coaching package

3 hours — A focused session
One three-hour session to introduce the basics, refresh your skills or work on something specific. A good starting point if you want to experience private coaching before committing to more sessions.

6 hours — Time to build
Two three-hour sessions give you time to learn, return to the boat and put your coach’s feedback into practice. A useful choice for developing a skill through repetition.

12 hours — A longer coaching plan
Four three-hour sessions provide more time to work on several skills and build consistency. Your coaching focus develops as you progress.

What we can work on

• Getting comfortable steering and handling the boat

• Understanding sail trim and the points of sail

• Practising tacking, gybing and upwind sailing

• Improving crew communication and teamwork

• Refreshing skills after an ASA course or time away from sailing

We’ll agree on a useful focus for your experience and the conditions on the day.

What’s included

• Private coaching on an InFlow sailing boat

• An instructor dedicated to your session

• A coaching plan based on your experience and goals

• Practical feedback and guidance on your next steps

Each three-hour session includes briefing, practical coaching and a review with your instructor.

Come on your own or learn together

Choose One sailor for one-to-one coaching, or Two sailors to share the coach and boat with a friend or partner. The two-sailor price covers both people—it is not a price per person.

Similar experience and goals will help you get the most from shared sessions.

Contact us before booking to agree on suitable dates. Six- and twelve-hour packages are delivered across two or four separate three-hour sessions, subject to instructor availability and suitable conditions.

Before you arrive
