Marina Berthing Course
Location: Pattaya
Sailing is relaxing, often exciting, and always fun! However, coming into a marina as the skipper and docking in a small slip or the fuel dock can be stressful. Knowing where to anchor for a restful night can be unnerving.
The Island Spirit Thailand Sailing School two day Docking Course refreshes the skills learnt on your sailing course and teaches you a higher level of confidence when faced with the challenges of safe anchoring, mooring and berthing.
