Beginner
Green Wyvern Yachting Club is suitable for beginners in its specific cruise-based format. The official cruise page says some younger participants may be away from home for the first time and usually aboard a yacht for the first time, with training taking place during club cruises. The RYA listing shows the club as a Training Centre offering Keelboat Level 1 Start Sailing at beginner level, plus Level 2 and Level 3 courses at beginner/intermediate level.
Training
The official training page says the club is affiliated with the RYA and runs courses to provide RYA Keelboat qualifications, mainly within club cruise weeks on the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads. It says skippers work through the appropriate RYA syllabus based on the student's prior ability, but a cruise week does not guarantee an RYA certificate. The RYA listing confirms Training Centre services for Keelboat Level 1 Start Sailing, Level 2 Basic Skills, Level 3 Better Sailing, Day Sailing, Seamanship Skills, and First Aid.
Taster· Unclear
No current official taster session, open day, or short try-sailing offer was found on the checked official pages. The current 2026 offer found is cruise-week based rather than a taster/open-day format, and the 2025 calendar is not evidence of current 2026 availability.

It also lists a separate £60 food fee payable in cash to the boat Mate, a £100 per week deposit option with summer balance due by 1 June, and a £5 fee for a replacement logbook. No current membership fee schedule was found on the checked official pages.

Membership

RYA lists the club as both RYA Club and Training Centre with keelboat courses from beginner level.

Boat hire
Boat use is included as part of the club's cruise-week model rather than shown as standalone public hire. The official cruise page says the £250 per person weekly sailing cost covers boat hire, insurance and running costs. No separate current public boat-hire offer or hire-only price list was found.
