What People Are Saying

  • Excellent quality, 2nd to none

    Can’t recommend Dave at Wild West Sailing enough. The quality of the Day Skipper Courses, Yachts & Instruction are 2nd to none. Already booked in for my next trip and working towards a Yachtmaster in the next year.

  • Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

    Lovely Boat, Great Instructor And An Incredible Place To Sail Off Ireland’s Beautifully Rugged West Coast. A Day Trip To Sligo’s Innismurray Island In Summer With Wild West Sailing Is Unforgettable, And Sailing There As Part Of A Crew Was A Great Experience. Dave Has A Wealth Of Knowledge, Yet Is Patient In Training Others. He Knows How To Put People At Ease, While Also Pushing Them To Achieve More.

    Great experience and awesome instructor with many years of sailing experience! Thanks Dave for the perfect week sailing on the west coast of Ireland. We will come back for sure and do the day skipper course with you. I highly recommend this experience for everyone who is serious about sailing.

  • WWS continue to exceed expectations!

    Highly recommend Wild West Sailing having done both Day skipper theory and practical courses with them this year. David and Nigel provided expert, friendly tuition and were super patient. Will be back for my Yachtmaster next year.

  • A true bucket-list experience!!

    Round Ireland September 2023. Exceptional!! I will remember this experience for the rest of my days! Big seas, calm seas, lots of wind, no wind, amazing islands, pristine coastlines, basking shark, bioluminescence and dolphins swimming in it in the pitch dark, the Skelligs at night, starry skies, shooting stars under full sails, tidal gates, tuskar rock, the fastnet, we saw it all!
