Own Boat Tuition
COMFORT | CONFIDENCE | CUSTOM MADE
Practical and private tuition tailored for each boat owner's need.
Upcoming Course Dates
We understand that sometimes you want to learn in the familiar environment of your own boat and people you know. Our instructors can teach you anything from a full RYA course to maybe just a day’s instruction focusing on your own individual requirements.
Instruction can be arranged any time that is suitable for you for a minimum of one day.
Cost: Sail or Power €300 per day.
There will be an extra charge to cover the instructor’s travel from Malta to Gozo and you will be responsible for feeding the instructor throughout the training. All running costs associated with the running of the boat will be borne by the owner. If you have booked in any tuition please make sure that you carry the basic equipment which will be needed.

The owner is considered to be the ‘skipper’ of the vessel at all times and is responsible for the vessel, the provisioning and fuel and for ensuring the vessel is fully insured, seaworthy, and with all boat papers in date and onboard to satisfy the local transport authority and maritime law of the country in which the training is taking place. If any accidents occur onboard during training the claim is to be made against the insurance of the boat. Sailing School Malta shall not be liable for any incidents or accidents onboard. The owner must notify their insurance company that there will be a qualified instructor on board delivering tuition but the owner remains the skipper at all times. It is also agreed that the owner’s insurance is fully comprehensive and covers all aspects of normal marine insurance for the area in which the skipper is expected to sail.
