East Anglian Sea School, a bastion of maritime education for over five decades, proudly stands as the epitome of teaching excellence along the Eastern Coast. Established in 1973 as the East Anglian School of Sailing, a modest family enterprise, our evolution into a premier Royal Yachting Association (RYA) sea school situated at Suffolk Yacht Harbour attests to our unwavering commitment to excellence.
Our renowned reputation is not only grounded in the unmatched quality of training experiences, state-of-the-art facilities, seaworthy yachts, and delectable homecooked catering on those vessels, but also in our pioneering contributions to nautical education. As the first Yachtmaster training centre in the world, the East Anglian Sea School holds the distinction of being the longest-running institution of its kind.
Guided by the third generation of the founding family, the school's enduring legacy mirrors the longevity of the Royal Yachting Association training program. Over the past fifty years, our commitment has expanded to encompass a diverse range of maritime pursuits, including getting on the water, comprehensive sailing lessons, RYA theory and practical courses, motorboat and powerboat instruction, offshore racing, and sailing adventures. Moreover, our expertise extends to yacht proficiency, navigation skills, and specialized navigation courses tailored for coastal and marine environments.
This rich and pioneering history ensures that students at the East Anglian Sea School receive an education steeped in tradition and combined with new innovations, making us a beacon of nautical proficiency and a distinguished institution in the global maritime community.
