Allabroad the way to a better future.

 

Instructors used by Allabroad.

If you have used sailing schools before and are not impressed be refreshed by our youthful well trained instructors.

Allabroad has a large range of instructors at its disposal old enough to have the skills and experience to teach you with patience and skill yet young enough to know all the latest methods of teaching and keep the course interesting and exciting.

Allabroad has always provided first class instructors and has a wealth of skills at its fingertips.
All instructors have to either have been home trained or are checked out carefully before being allowed to teach our valued students.
 This encourages new ideas, teaching methods and helps to keep instructors refreshed.

At Allabroad you will find the level of fully qualified RYA instructors is second to non.
All the sailing schools in Gibraltar have or are using Allabroad trained instructors.

Since Lyn took over the quality of tuition has reached even higher standards with regular instructor training and update sessions.

Feedback.

Dear ASA,
 
          I've now had a few days to recover and take stock of my two-week sailing Yachtmaster prep and exam. I'd just like to thank everyone at ASA who helped it all go so smoothly and enjoyably. It was an excellent two weeks and most of the thanks should go to Sean 'The Magician' for his hard work, patience and sense of humor. Without him the results on the exam day would have been very different.  
 
Thanks to ASA I can now head off to Croatia and pursue my dream Skipper job. If all goes well I will be back for the Cruising Instructor course in November.
 
Good luck to Sean in his refresher course - it'll be a breeze!
 
Hope to catch up with you all in November, have a great summer.
 
Best regards,
 
Darren
