CST Experiences on the Helford River
This beautiful corner of Cornwall is where it all began for our charity – Children’s Sailing Trust has been teaching local primary-aged children how to sail since 1997 on the breath-taking Helford River. We now offer RYA courses for all ages and abilities, adults and children, beginners to rusty pros.
Our RYA certified sailing courses are the most fun you can have learning on the river. Set on the beautiful Helford, try not to be distracted by the views as you learn to tack and gybe across the waterway.
All ages and abilities are welcome – we’re sure to have something to suit your needs and if you can’t see what you’re looking for, just ask!

Previously, we ran all our courses over four half days, but following feedback from you, and our instructors, this year we have simplified the course stages (RYA Stage one, two, three & four) and present them in two full days instead.
