Sunsail Clubs are recognised as British Federation Ski Schools, working together with the John Battleday Water-Ski and Wakeboard Academy. JBWA is the world’s leading water-ski and wakeboard academy offering progressive instruction and courses that have been developed by the world’s top instructors.
Whatever your age or ability, our instructors guarantee to get you up on the water. First time skiers and boarders (skiing on one wakeboard rather than two skis) can benefit from our free taster sessions to get a feel for the sport before moving on to our group lesson system or private lessons that ensure quick progression. Starting on the bar at the side of the boat, your instructor will guide you through the technique until you are ready to go full speed ahead! Intermediates and advanced skiers can also get down to some big air wakeboarding or the speed and rhythmic turns of a slalom ski.
Each Club has at least one ski boat* and an excellent selection of skis, mono skis, wakeboards and kneeboards. Rental of wetsuit shorts and ski lifejackets is included in the price of your session so after you have booked yourself an allocated lesson slot, you are ready to go.
When the skis come off, the pace needn’t stop - try our famous tubing rides and be prepared for a thrill! Kids love them, as do quite a few adults! Ringo rides are £6 UK per session, charged to your room.
*Not available at Club Perili and Club Colonna.
