Sailing Ireland is an ISA accreditated sailing and yacht charter company based in Kilmore Quay, Co. Wexford. We offer a great range of courses suitable for the total beginner through to the seasoned
sailor and we can take you through the A - Z of sailing in a fun, practical way that will leave you looking forward to more time on the water.

Many of our courses take place around the Saltee Islands off the Wexford coast between Carnsore Point and the Hook Peninsula. Our cruising grounds also take in the south and east coasts of Ireland
as well as England, Wales and the Isles of Scilly.

We offer the ISA Cruising Scheme, Shore based Navigation, VHF Radio and ICC Certification Courses as well as beginner's and improvers classes. Sailing Ireland also offers Try a Sail Days and relaxing day, weekend or week-long charters for up to eight family or friends.

We can also offer some great corporate entertainment and team building opportunities. Why not enter Cork Week or the Dun Laoghaire Regatta under your company name or have a match racing event to encourage teamwork within your company?

We have a course to suit everyone and are always available to talk through what courses or options might suit you best. We can tailor a course to suit individual needs on a one to one or group basis
(eg. berthing, Safety drills, sail trim, electronic navigation, radar etc.).
