I completed a YM Offshore Prepweek with Cornish Cruising in December 2020, the exam was planned for friday/saturday at the end of the week, due to inclement weather it was cancelled. We were unable to reschedule the exam and I requested a refund for the examination fee on the 23rd of December. I was told this was no issue and that it would be refunded shortly. A week later I phoned as I had still not recieved a refund and I was told it would happen the following day. It is now the 11th of January and I have still not recieved any of the money back. The instructors are informative and helpful, however the organization of the office and the quality of communications are horriffic, including sending me joining instructions that had contact numbers for an insurance company, which were (according to the insurance company) 10 years out of date. I will not be using Corning Cruising again in the future and would reccomend others to steer clear.

Thanks to all at Cornish Cruising who helped me pass my Yachtmaster Offshore during my development program. Great team, great sailing area, great people to sail with. Thoroughly recommend Cornish Cruising if you want to learn to sail. Experience is affected by the weather so be prepared for sun, rain, wind (too much & too little) and the occasional snow. Will be going back.
Yacht in very poor condition despite being only 4 years old (2016 model). Lots of major issues found on check-in, luckily we were diligent - dinghy and pump were incompatible (so no dinghy for the whole week) - outboard was stuck onto yacht rail, no way to remove without specialist tools (no so outboard for a week) - cooker only worked on one ring (so very hard to cook) - eventually first two were fixed, but the outboard was super badly maintained, cut out often with little power. So we had no way off the yacht except in marinas and the cooker barely worked. Complete nightmare. - owner did not bother to come for the check out and when we called him was at home with his kids and would not come back to help Avoid bareboat hire from here under all circumstances.
Had an awful experience doing a yacht master fast track here. One of the instructors verbally abused me until I cried because I didn't understand passage planning, another instructor repeatedly belittled me, another one blew an air horn in my face while I was sleeping, another one left 2 of us on deck during a night crossing of the english channel that nearly ended in a collision with a military vessel while the instructor slept, and to top it off I never received any qualifications. All sounds quite funny looking back on it but was terrible service and a scam.
I did my comp crew with my son in January 2019 and later my day skipper both courses with Mike Allen who was a consummate professional, for the price of the course it was like a mini break basic food however, a few tips on cooking and its surprising what you can knock up with a bit of imagination... hard work on day skipper we were tested constantly questioned and challenged to preform , some times under pressure .. please do not shout man overboard as I developed a twitch :) but mike dealt with it all in a calm manner. I originally met Nick at the Southampton boat show of all the stands and I spoke to them all he was happy to talk even though his lunch went cold, he was clear on details and answered all the questions, I will be back for more with Cornish cruising January 2020
