Welcome to Shell Bay Sailing
![Learn to sail in a beautiful environment.](images/index/sailing.jpg)
We are a small, friendly sailing school, situated on the Studland peninsula, at the entrance to Poole harbour, close to the southern side of the Sandbanks ferry.
Shell Bay Sailing is an RYA recognised training centre.
We offer:
- A range of courses and sailing opportunities for ages of 8 years and upwards,
- Hire of dinghies to those who are suitably experienced,
Location
We have direct access to the quiet and protected waters of Poole harbour. When afloat you will enjoy a beautiful sailing area bounded by the unspoilt shores and islands of the harbour, well away from the busy waterways.
We are open every weekend for hire and tuition from April to September, and daily during school holidays.
We can also arrange tailored tuition outside these times
Our adult sailing courses are now underway.
Our next level 1 course is on 8/9 June and level 2 on 15/16 June. Contact us for dates later in the season.
We are also taking bookings for our summer junior RYA courses, for children of 8 years and over.
