We can offer you all the choices of RYA Start Yachting Course, RYA Competent Crew Course, RYA Day Skipper Course or RYA Coastal Skipper Course either in the sheltered waters of the Solent or the warmth of the Channel Islands.

You can also combine a Channel Islands Cruise with a RYA training Course, giving that perfect sunshine sailing holiday. If you are not sure what should be your first step on the ladder then why not book a Day Sailing Experience with us in the Solent. Also for those sailors who wish to attain their Yachtmaster qualification in a concentrated timescale we offer our highly acclaimed, competitively priced Yachtmaster Fast Track. All these choices are on offer – now you have to decide which school to use and we have to convince you IT MUST BE HOBO YACHTING!
HOBO YACHTING is a family firm and Jenny and Ken Campling will spare no effort to ensure that you achieve all you want from your Sailing Vacation – be it Solent based Day Sailing or a RYA Practical Sailing Course for RYA Start Yachting, RYA Competent Crew, RYA Day Skipper or RYA Coastal Skipper all of which take you nearer and nearer to your RYA Yachtmaster qualification – or a Cross Channel or Long Distance Passage or Channel Islands RYA Sailing Course or Sailing Holiday Cruise. Our Yachtmaster Fast Track comprises all of the above options in a concentrated timescale. The school principal, Ken Campling, FRIN RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Ocean Instructor, a professional navigator and radar specialist, is a mature and experienced instructor, who has been involved in sailing for all of his adult life and still retains a sense of humour! He will tailor tuition to fit the needs of the individual so that you can learn at a pace that suits you.
HOBO YACHTING is based at Southampton’s Ocean Village Marina close to the railway station and motorway and is ideally placed to offer either a Day Sailing Experience or RYA Practical and Shorebased Courses. It is also an ideal location to offer our Yachtmaster Fast Track. The cruising area can be in the sheltered waters of the Solent for the RYA Yachtmaster scheme with its Practical Sailing Courses for RYA Start Yachting, RYA Competent Crew, RYA Day Skipper and RYA Coastal Skipper, or the busy waters of the English Channel and the French Coast for those wishing to experience a Cross Channel Passage or Long Distance Passage to build up seamiles. HOBO YACHTING also cruise extensively along the Atlantic coast of France and offer RYA Sailing Courses and Sailing Vacations in the beautiful Channel Islands.
HOBO YACHTING sails regularly throughout the year, however, March to October is a particularly popular period and dates, especially bank holidays, are booked several months in advance – presumably because of the personal service on offer!
