Celebrating 40 years 1973 - 2013

East Anglian Sea School has set the standard for training excellence on the East Coast for 40 years. We are based on the East Coast of the UK at Suffolk Yacht Harbour, Levington, on the River Orwell, half way between Ipswich and Felixstowe. Founded in 1973, as a small family business then called East Anglian School of Sailing, it has grown into one of the foremost Royal Yachting Association (RYA) sea schools in the country. Still owned by the second generation of the same family, the school has been around for as long as the RYA training scheme. As well as being an RYA training centre we are recognised by the Marine Coastguard Agency (MCA) and the International Sailing Association Federation (ISAF) and Sea Fish.

We have 45 friendly, approachable, patient and knowledgeable instructors, qualified to the highest standards in sailing, motor cruising, power boating and dinghy sailing. Training afloat is run using a fleet of 'Strata' yachts, motorcruisers, powerboats and dinghies from Jeanneau, Haines, Ribeye, Wayfarer and Laser, all maintained to MCA standards.

A wide range of courses are on offer both in the UK at Levington and at Marmaris in Turkey, catering for people new to boating right through to experts. From Start Yachting or Helmsman's courses, Competent Crew, Day Skipper through to Coastal Skipper and on to Yachtmaster and Yachtmaster Ocean, courses are run all year round, at weekends as well as during the week.

Having purchased Tiller School of Navigation and Seamanship this year, we can now offer all of the RYA correspondence courses to cover any distance learning course needs.

Anyone with a Commercial Endorsement to their certificates should complete the RYA Professional Practices and Responsibilities course - PPR - which is available through our website.

As a Musto clothing dealer we can also provide our students with up-to-date, high quality waterproofs for your course, whether you wish to hire or purchase.
