Welcome to Bisham Abbey Sailing and Navigation School where our aim is to make learning a pleasant experience whether you are eight or eighty!

Our newest course is the MCA Fire Safety course. This one day course is a Marine Coastguard Boatmaster Licence ancillary course as are the RYA First Aid and RYA / MCA Basic Sea Survival / Water Safety courses. These courses are invaluable for the professional and non-professional helmsman.
We operate throughout the year specialising in dinghy sailing between May and September and shore based & navigation courses all year round. Boat handling takes place between February and November, weather permitting! Gift vouchers are available for all our courses or to any monetary value.
We are now offering Dutch Barge Experience Days - spend a day on our 17metre Luxe Motor Dutch Barge 'Le Coq'. You will be able to try your hand at steering our barge and crewing (whilst under instruction) and also find out about buying and owning your own dutch barge.
Our fully equipped premises, based within the Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre, located by the River Thames, has close proximity to the M3, M4, M40 and M25 motorways, providing excellent road access from London and the Home Counties. Main line railway stations are located in nearby Maidenhead and High Wycombe and we are only 35 minutes from London/Heathrow Airport. Accommodation is available if required, within the National Sports Centre, for adults and accompanied children taking part in RYA courses.
Established in 1991 the School is an RYA recognised teaching
centre run by Roy and Jan May. Roy, the
Sailing School's Principal is an RYA Senior Instructor and has been sailing for over 20 years.
Emails: Bisham Abbey Sailing and Navigation School isn't a huge
affair. We're a relatively small independent business within Bisham Abbey
National Sports Centre dedicated to offering a personal service. We find
that given the sheer volume of emails that can be generated from a site and
people's perception that they should get a reply on the same day if not sooner,
we have taken the decision not to include an email address on our site. We
much prefer to have a friendly chat with prospective clients to discuss their
requirements and ensure that they take the correct course for their particular
needs
We specialise in small group training, intensive and semi-intensive. If you need advice, give us a call! If you need training, we can help! Please telephone 01628 474960.

“It’s now about six weeks since we had the pleasure of taking our Helmsman’s course with you; the benefits of the course have made a huge difference to the enjoyment of taking our boat out." Mrs D B, London NW3
“We have no hesitation in recommending the School to anyone interested in sailing or indeed any of the other courses you run. We are already looking into what our next course will be with you." S and K W, Englefield Green.
“Thank you for an excellent course, your teaching skills, communication and presentation could not be bettered. I am not at all surprised you have won an RYA instructor of the year award – you deserve it." Mr M F, Watlington
“I felt the general pace and control of the day was excellent and Tom is to be congratulated. I heard nothing but good comments from all the participants and felt that I should convey my thanks to you". Mr A W P, Sheffield.
“During August I had occasion to use my own 18 foot power boat on a very large lake in North America (125 miles long) and found that the education I obtained from your School served me in excellent stead………I certainly appreciate that I achieved a good result because of the thoroughness of your course." Mr J S, London N12
“A note to say thank you for a very worthwhile and informative course D and I had with you last week. We both certainly felt more confident and learned a lot from our day’s instruction; also D was very pleased to have been shown the ‘mechanics’ of the vessel and has taken on board your advices about the engine etc." Mr and Mrs R, Jordans
