SAILING IN DOHA

Love an adventure in the fresh air? Then small boat sailing could be for you. You can take your family, go with friends or escape by yourself, leaving the stress of daily life behind on the shore.

People of all ages take up dinghy sailing and there are plenty of ways to get involved. You’ll quickly find sailing becomes more than just a sport because it’s so sociable.

Children as young as 6 years of age can learn to sail using our small dinghies, suitable for their size, easy to handle and generally light to launch and transport.

All our sailing is carried out in a variety of RS Sailing Dinghies. Our courses are run by RYA Qualified Senior Instructors and we ensure all safety equipment provided is maintained to a high standard.
