ABOUT OUR SCHOOL
Ilfracombe Sea School is situated in the beautiful Harbour of Ilfracombe, the largest Harbour on the North Devon Coastline and a working Harbour since the 12th Century. We lead directly out to the Bristol Channel and have the 2nd highest tidal range in the world.
Ilfracombe Sea School is proud to offer an all year round, adaptable, shore side training room with a state of art interactive screen and all specialist equipment is of the highest quality.
Our students will not only have the expert tuition of our experienced instructors, to ensure your course is enjoyable and successful but our Practical students will also have the pleasure of enjoying the stunning North Devon Coastline.
We understand that sail training is all about what you wish to achieve and we will work with you to make sure that you are able to maximise your achievements. But most importantly, we want you to enjoy your time with us, in the relaxed atmosphere at Ilfracombe Sea School.
