learning to sail in fenit

For junior sailors, kids who want to learn to sail or families who want to see what's involved a good place to start is at Tralee Bay Sailing Club on a Saturday morning. Here you will see the younger members of TBSC rigging and launching from the slip with racing and coaching happening just off the shore. From here you can also speak with the more established members of the club and the coaching team who can provide advice and assistance for becoming a member and learning to sail.

Separately, Wild Water Adventures host the official club sailing school and schedule lessons on a regular basis for those new to sailing or those aiming to improve their technique. Get in touch with them to get more information on when and these courses are happening and the associated costs.
