Introduction

Northampton Watersports Centre is based at Northampton Sailing Club alongside the picturesque Pitsford Reservoir and Brixworth Country Park, just 5 miles north of Northampton. Covering some 450 acres, this is the largest area of water in the county, providing the perfect place to learn watersports.

Open seven days a week from April to October, our enthusiastic, experienced team of RYA qualified Instructors provide a fun and safe environment for people from age 8 upwards to discover the thrill of watersports.

We run beginners, improvers and advanced RYA dinghy sailing and windsurfing courses throughout the year. We have a large fleet of modern boats and wide-style windsurf boards, making it even easier to learn to sail or windsurf. Click here to see this year’s course programme.

We can also offer sailing or windsurfing taster sessions (an ideal birthday present), private tuition (1:1), corporate days, birthday parties (click for details) and team building packages to suit your exact requirements, all at competitive prices. Contact us for details.

We regularly work with local schools, colleges and other youth groups such as scouts and guides. We are able to put together a programme to teach young people a sport as well as incorporating other themes such as water safety, weather and teamwork – click here for more information if you are a teacher or group leader and want to bring your group along. If your group have special needs or disabilities, this is no barrier for us; we can advise and work with you to enable everyone to have a good time on the water.

The Centre is recognised by the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) and licensed by the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority (AALA).

Office opening hours are from 9.00am to 1.00pm, Monday to Friday. If there is no-one available to take your call, please leave a message or send an e-mail and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

You are welcome to visit us - just let us know when you would like to come so we can make sure someone will be available to talk to you and show you around.
