Nuffield Sailing & Watersports Centre

Welcome to the Nuffield Sailing & Watersports Centre

The Nuffield Sailing & Watersports Centre at the Joint Service Mountain Training Centre Indefatigable provides sailing and watersports activities for serving military personnel, their families and visiting military units.

Our very own RYA accredited Sail Centre is situated on the banks of the Menai Strait, just a short walk from the accommodation wing. We offer courses and taster sessions in sailing and powerboating for adults as well as children. We also offer taster sessions in Stand-Up Paddle Boarding and Kayaking (Sit-on tops) – great fun for families and popular with military units for team building and decompression.

A programme of prearranged courses and taster sessions will be listed below and is updated throughout the year. You should also keep an eye on our Facebook page for announcements and availability. Alternatively, in addition to our advertised courses, we can arrange directly with you a course or taster session on dates to suit you (subject to availability of instructors and minimum number of students required).

Our fully qualified and experienced instructors can deliver courses and taster sessions to both groups and families.

Please call us to enquire or book all Sailing & Watersports Activities.
