Have you ever dreamt of cruising the open waters, feeling the wind in your hair and the spray of the sea on your face? Sailing offers a unique sense of freedom and adventure, but before you embark on your journey, it’s crucial to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to ensure your safety and the safety of others.
Prosailing Malta is a fully RYA accredited training centre, dedicated to providing comprehensive courses for aspiring sailors. We offer two essential courses that will equip you with the fundamental skills and theoretical understanding required to navigate the seas with confidence:
