Training Ground Beyond Compare
When you want training for yachting or powerboats, look no further than Andrew Simpson Yachting. From our base here in Haslar Marina, right inside the entrance to historic Portsmouth Harbour, Andrew Simpson Yachting can give you the fastest possible access to the entire Solent. With its variety of ports, harbours, inlets, rivers and bays, with marine traffic of all shapes and sizes operating 24/7, and with the constant challenges of tides and weather, there’s no question – The Solent has it all as a place to learn.
Great Destinations Within Easy Reach
And if you don’t want to be confined by The Solent, we can take you beyond visible horizons too. The nearest French port is half a day’s sailing away, and the northernmost of the Channel Islands not much further. We can get you to the Jurassic Coast and the gateway to the West Country in just hours
Theory, Knowledge And Insight To Set You On Your Way
As well as our range of practical courses and training, we offer an extensive selection of classroom and online courses covering everything you need to be safe and confident at sea – from navigation theory and techniques through radio, diesel engines, first aid, radar to sea survival.
