Youngsters in wetsuits with paddles

Sailing, paddleboarding, kayaking, windsurfing, wingsurfing, powerboating, waterskiing and wakeboarding from our purpose-built centre in beautiful New Quay, West Wales. We hire equipment and offer RYA-certified courses and regular sessions, all with highly-qualified instructors. We are also a recognised AALA centre and can run school and group activities for you.

Our season runs from Easter until the end of September. We launch from the protected bay and can run in most weather! New Quay is home to the largest population of bottlenose dolphins in Europe; we also regularly spot seals, porpoises and lots of seabirds.

Toilets, hot showers, changing rooms, lockers and a coffee machine are available. Wetsuits are £5 to hire; we provide spraytops, buoyancy aids/lifejackets and boots.

We are a charity organisation existing to promote outdoor lifestyles, include more diverse groups on the water, and raise the profile of sailing and all watersports in the West Wales area. We welcome donations and volunteers.

Great Day out
Jun 2022 with Friends

Beautiful view, high quality teaching and equipment - and I’m not just talking about the instructor!

Learning With Laughs
Jun 2021 - Solo

I came here to complete my powerboat course. Very friendly, professional and funny. Teaching very clear and to the point.

Fun paddle boarding lesson
April 2022 - with Family

Great set-up, very well organised and friendly, and the tuition was of a very high standard - we booked a family paddle boarding lesson (children 9 and 12 years old) with instructor Andy. Would highly recommend.
