Tell me more about the Sailing Virgins instructors
A sailing academy is only as good as its instructors. Therefore we have the highest standards in the world for instructor selection. To be a Sailing Virgins instructor, as well as requiring certification to Royal Yachting Association standards (which are widely known to be the best in the world), a candidate also needs to have the following:
- At least two ocean crossings
- At least two seasons as skipper/lead skipper/instructor for The Yacht Week
For more information about Sailing Virgins instructors, check out our instructor page here.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No. Everything we do is online, from the Terms & Conditions to our Crew Forms to our Waiver. We like to keep things as simple as possible for you (and us)!
