My two instructors Dan and Jason were excellent ,hands on and hands off as needed ,great teaching skills .We were a mix of abilities ,four in group always rotating so all learning together and understanding necessity of team work .
Mix of yachts were sailed over four days ,giving a good grounding of basics .
Remember Phuket is very very hot so sun protection is vital ,full length sleeve rash vests and wide brimmed hats ,factor 50 sunscreen essential.Sailing gloves also recommended .Dan and Jason are great on hydration ,cooler chests with drink bottles /electrolytes etc provided on board .
Location is paradise ,on the beach with great little beach bar next door for lunchtime food and après cold beers .
I learnt a stack of skills ,I have come home to Pembrokeshire to learn to skipper and crew an 11m yacht .The course has given me confidence and an understanding of the skills and knowledge required in order to move on to skippering and crewing at sea competently .Next time I am in Phuket I will be back for more instruction and teaching .
So if you want to learn to sail in Phuket ,head to Sail Asia in Ao yon ,thoroughly recommend you learn from Jason and Dan and let Jum guide you through the admin.

A great place to learn sailing in Thailand! - We’re very glad to have found Sail in Asia!

Looking for a sailing school in Asia 2024 was not easy, While many had websites, they were unresponsive, do not... read more offer accredited courses, or appeared to be outright scams.

Already at the first contact SIA were very helpful, offering a course to match our availability, and helping with airport transfers and accommodation.

We found that this flexibility and helpfulness extended to the instructors as well, and spent 5 lovely days earning our ISSA Yacht Crew & VHF Radio certificates.

We highly recommend Sail in Asia to anyone looking to learn how to sail in a friendly and relaxed school, on a variety of boats and in a peaceful and beautiful environment.

We will be back later this year to complete the ISSA Inshore Skipper course.

Great place to learn to sail or advance your education. - Perfect place to learn to sail. Did my 'Learn to sail' and 'VHF' courses. Classroom well equipped and learning materials were sent as PDFs beforehand.

Highly recommended.
