How to read this table. Dates and prices are captured from each school's own public pages, so re-confirm with the school before you pay. A price is only shown where the school publishes one against a date it is still selling, or publishes for the course itself when it lists no dates, in which case the date column reads "No dates published"; anything else reads "On enquiry". Prices in another currency carry an approximate figure in pounds, converted at the European Central Bank reference rate published on 22 Sep 2026. It is an estimate for comparison, not the amount your bank will charge. The "What is included" column shows only what a school has actually published, each line carrying the wording it came from and the page it was taken from. Where a school publishes nothing, the column says so rather than guessing. “Other costs” is about the town rather than the school: where YachtSync has sampled what a room costs there, the column shows the range we found and the date we checked it, and where it has not, it reads “Variable”. Nothing in that column is a live price, and travel carries no figure of ours at all, because what you pay depends on where you set off from.

Ordering. This table is sorted by price or by date, whichever you choose. The school labelled Sponsored pays YachtSync a commission on bookings. That label buys the card above the table and the label in the row. It does not move the school up this table, and it plays no part in the directory ordering either. How we rank providers.
