Sailing Instructors

Introduce our guests to the basics of sailing in Southern France and Spain. Excellent RYA training and development opportunities for PGL Sailing Instructors.

PGL, the UK’s leading provider of residential activity holidays and educational courses for children, has been introducing young people to exhilarating watersports for over 50 years and now operate four Royal Yachting Association (RYA) recognised teaching establishments in France and Spain.

We’re looking for people eager to share their passion for sailing with our young guests. You’ll get to sail a variety of boats from our fleet including Cats, Picos, Wayfarer Worlds and Long Boats.
Sessions are held on the sea at our Mediterranean and Costa Brava centres, and on an inland lake at our locations in the Dordogne and Atlantic coast.
