Sailing

As an Irish Sailing Association (ISA) approved sailing centre, Neptune is delighted to offer you the opportunity to learn to sail with us. You will be fully supervised and trained by our certified instructors who will have you tacking and jibing before you know it.

Sporting a fleet of Laser fun boats, Mermaids and a 470 Olympic Class trapeze boat, our qualified instructors will help you to find your sea legs before long.

Starting at the very beginning, Neptune will make sailing accessible to all would be Ian Walkers….

We’ll teach you the theory, we’ll show you the ropes and we’ll prepare you for helming a boat yourself.

The great thing about sailing with Neptune Outdoor Education is that you don’t need to own a boat. Just turn up.

We’ll give you a wet suit, a life preserve and you can use our boats.
