Chieftain Training Reviews 

Great facility and very professional and knowledgeable instructor.

Relaxed, fun way to be introduced to and learn the basics of dingy sailing.Instructors were friendly and knowledgeable.

Spent most of the weekend on the water and would highly recommend.

10/10 experience if you want to get comfortable learning to sail a dinghy, we had lots of support from two fabulous instructors to get us sailing a double handed dingy confidently by the end of the weekend!!

Fantastic beginner course, instructors were great, very friendly atmosphere and easy going, but strict where it needed to be. Lots of time in the water, really enjoyed it. Parking and tea/ coffee facilities made the days easy.

Great course, lots of excellent experiences. Recommended.

Very engaged instructors who lead a range of activities for the beavers

The instructors are so friendly and knowledgeable, I really enjoyed both of my weekends here, would definitely recommend to friends

Hands on training - independent and double with a mix of theory

Great first aid training. Very enjoyable

Fantastic course & the team that took the course was so professional that it made the course se enjoyable, I’d be recommending anyone to join the course

I thought Chieftan were fantastic, very professional and knowledgeable staff.
I would highly recommend this company for any training required.

The joining information was spot on. Our instructor knew his stuff and worked hard. I didn't realise how much I'd forgetten. We all passed!

Great Day down at chieftain HQ Hamble

I cant wait for my next course 🤗

Great learning experience for anyone interested. Excellent instructors 😁

Excellent course, great facilities, well maintained training equipment. Highly recommended.

I completed the Advanced Powerboat course with Chieftain Training at SWAC and had a fantastic experience. Our instructor, Pete, was brilliant: down-to-earth, reassuring, and so easy to get along with.

We used two different boats, and explored several local pilotage areas by night. Highly recommend them if you're looking to advance your skills.

Was really fun experience to learn more power boating skills and learn night driving. Very interesting to enter a harbour using night lights and seeing ships at night. Pete was so helpful and really made the whole experience great

All things are excellent, such as the classroom, instructor, boat, arrangement, i learn a lot.

I did my powerboat lvl 2 training today and I really enjoyed it. Despite the harsh weather which really helped us gain experience in harsh conditions, it was really good. Alan was our instructor. He was very enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. Definitely would recommend coming here to learn how to use a vhf radio and drive a powerboat :)

Just completed the RYA Ocean theory course. Massive shout out to Chieftan and 'Nigel Rennie' for the fantastic course materials and training, support, encouragement throughout the whole five days.

A tricky subject, bought to life with passion, expertise and experience. Highly recommend!

Thank you Nigel, thank you Chieftan!
