We love to sail. More importantly, we love giving sailing lessons!
“We had the pleasure of doing a sailing course with Justin as our Instructor. His calm, humble attitude makes him approachable even as he garnered respect from young and old alike from a variety of backgrounds and ethnicities. We were thankful to have learned a great deal from Justin’s experience and his passion for sailing and his natural ability to ignite the same passion in others. We would not hesitate to recommend Atlas Sailing!”

Justin was my RYA Coastal Skipper Practical examiner. He was very clear, engaging, and thorough, in his instructions, and teachings.
Add to which, a relaxed and friendly manner, to make you feel at ease, put a smile on your face, made Justin a brilliant teacher. I’d highly recommend.
