Our singles or individual RYA sailing courses are great for those who are sailing solo. In fact 80% of our students who visit us from the UK travel alone.

If you are looking for an RYA course or sailing adventure in the Mediterranean, or any other location that Jolly Parrot are operating, chances are your fellow crew are sailing as individuals rather than part of a group or a couple. You can be sure however that even though they may be 'sailing solo' they will be enjoying their sailing holiday whilst learning the ropes.. It can be a little daunting traveling alone to an unfamiliar place to take a sailing course or activity with limited or zero knowledge,but rest assured that once onboard the yacht, you will be with like minded people enjoying their adventure and making new friends.In fact, most remain friends after the course and return to build upon their yachting experience.

What to expect:

  • Experience living on board for 5 days
  • Really get to understand a modern cruising yacht
  • Sail to a new place every day - exploring nearby Spanish and Moroccan ports
  • Have great fun and get to know other like minded people

What's included:

  • Accommodation onboard
  • Breakfast, lunch, refreshments and two evening meals
  • Waterproof clothing
  • Bedding and towels
  • Safety equipment
  • Mooring fees and fuel
  • All charts and publications
  • Fun!

  • Amazing 10 days with my instructor Ian working on my yacht master coastal prep course, which I successfully passed the day after the course. Great company couldn’t recommend them enough booking was easy and very well informed thanks to Rachel working behind the scenes.

  • Absolutely incredible! Recently, I completed Jolly Parrot’s ‘Novice to Day Skipper’ course, and it was one of the best experiences of my life! Not only did I learn to sail, but the course also improved my confidence massively. The instructors were all so lovely and incredibly knowledgeable. Greg was my instructor for the Day Skipper portion and I couldn’t imagine anyone better suited for the job - An excellent instructor with impeccable humour. I met some amazing people during this course (namely my crew mates Bene, Doug and Flo), and overall had a wonderful time :)

  • Novice to Day Skipper course with Alex & Jason I was eager to learn to sail and at the same time to have relaxing time (holiday-like). It worked well for me, the instructors were cool and I was lucky to meet good colleagues sailors and have good time on the way. Keep rocking Jolly.

  • 16-week Fast-Track I completed the 16-week Fast-Track program with Jolly Parrot, starting as a complete beginner with no prior sailing experience. From the moment I stepped aboard, the instructors—Ian, Greg, Rob, and Jason—became my guides, transforming my raw inexperience into something far more seasoned and confident. With their patience, skill, and unshakable belief in every student, they taught me far more than I could have imagined. If you’re considering joining, I can wholeheartedly recommend Jolly Parrot. The program is well-structured, and the instructors are highly knowledgeable, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to develop their sailing skills.

  • We spent a wonderful 11 days in November 2021 with Jolly Parrot. I completed the Coastal Skipper Combined course and my wife the Comp Crew. Instructors Flipper, IanG, Hailey, and Tom were all exceptional in their own unique way and we came away with more rounded skills and knowledge as a result of their patient teaching methods. Clive and Rachel did a fabulous job of shuffling schedules and boats to accommodate our different experience levels. Expect to be challenged on the Coastal Skipper course! We made some abiding memories, some long-term connections and friends, and hope to return soon for the next challenge maybe a mile-builder.
