Late sailing deals are always available so check us first if you want to go sailing in Gibraltar. We list last minute sailing deals from all the local schools and there is often a bargain or two to be had! Gibraltar offers one of the best sailing areas in Europe and is especially attractive to the British visitor. The nearest rival would be sailing in the Solent but Gibraltar clearly has the advantage of good weather for most of the year. There are very few days when sailing is not possible due to severe conditions and on average, the temperature is easily some 10 to 15 degrees warmer than the UK at any time of the year.
Winds come either from the East or the West and rarely from any other direction. However, there are plenty of occasions when there is no wind at all. It's fair to say that there are conditions to suit everyone from competent crew to Yachtmaster and for that reason it offers a challenging yet safe area for sailing.
Another big reason to choose Gibraltar for your sailing is the sheer volume of experience to be gained. There is just about every conceivable situation to encounter as you sail in Gibraltar Bay or across the Straits to Morocco, ranging from close quarter sailing to some very large ships to crossing shipping lanes in one of the busiest waterways in the world.
It will be no surprise that so many sailing schools have set up business in Gibraltar. There are now five sailing schools in Gibraltar and all offer RYA accredited courses but we recommend that you shop around as prices and deals differ.
Getting to your sailing trip in Gibraltar could not be easier. There are regular flights from Luton and Heathrow as well as a recent addition from Madrid. There is a strong possibility that budget airlines will be setting up as Gibraltar becomes the regional airport for the Southern tip of Spain.
Many of the Gibraltar based sailing schools choose to advertise on this site so to find your next RYA sailing course or your perfect sailing adventure in Gibraltar, just use our search facility on the left.
