At Cinque Ports Sailing, we believe everyone deserves a chance to discover the joy of being on the water. With expert tuition and a safe, supportive setting, we help individuals learn, grow, and gain confidence afloat.

Cinque Ports Sailing is an RYA-affiliated sailing club offering dinghy sailing, yachting and powerboating across three RYA-recognised training centres in Kent: Dover, Martello Lakes in Hythe and Conningbrook Lakes in Ashford. Whether you're an East-Kent local or down from London for the weekend, we can help you to get on the water with confidence.

Martello Lakes in Hythe is an RYA Training Centre offering year-round dinghy sailing and powerboat Level 2 courses. The centre also hosts regular Sunday club sailing and racing. A welcoming environment for both new and experienced sailors to build skills and enjoy time on the water.

Dover Harbour provides a full range of dinghy and yacht sailing courses along with powerboat training from beginner to advanced levels.
