Schull
Fastnet Marine Outdoor Education Centre
Surrounded and sheltered by over twenty islands and with a mild climate supported by the Gulf Stream, Schull is undoubtedly one of the best sailing areas in Ireland. The Fastnet Marine Outdoor Education Centre is a hive of activity during the summer months offering a wide variety of sailing activities for both children and adults. Five day dinghy sailing courses run from the end of June until August and are suitable for all ages from 8 years upwards (although the majority of sailors tend to be children and young adults) and for all skill levels. For groups of adults (up to five), two and five day sailing courses are run, subject to demand, on the Centre's 1720 keelboat. For a more relaxed introduction to sailing, or just for a chance to explore the islands and the bay, one-day fun sailing trips with an instructor can be booked during the summer months. The Centre also offers two day Power-boat courses.
