The club says it welcomes anyone who enjoys getting out on the water and that it caters for experienced sailors and newbies. Seahorse Marine School at the club lists beginner-suitable RYA powerboat and PWC courses, including Powerboat Level 1 for those with little or no previous experience and Powerboat Level 2 with no previous experience required.

Juniors
The membership page offers mooring membership for an individual or family. The RYA training page lists minimum ages of 8 for Powerboat Level 1 and 12 for Powerboat Level 2 and PWC training, so some training options are open to younger participants. I did not find a separate current junior sailing programme.
