Prestige Boat Academy was established by a group of passionate sailors and maritime professionals who recognised a need for high-quality, accessible boating education on the Costa del Sol. With years of experience in the maritime industry, we saw an opportunity to create a training centre that not only adhered to the high standards set by the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) but also fostered a welcoming and supportive learning environment.
We envisioned a place where safety, quality, professionalism, and inclusivity were the core values guiding every aspect of our operation. We believe that anyone, regardless of background or previous experience, should have the chance to learn how to navigate the waters confidently.
Since its inception, Prestige Boat Academy has grown into a premier destination for boating education and charters, with people visiting us from different countries across the world. Our fleet of well-maintained vessels and highly qualified instructors ensure that every course, from beginner to advanced, is delivered to the highest standards. The academy’s commitment to safety and quality is reflected in our training programs, which prepare students not only for recreational boating but also for professional maritime careers.

Just finished the PBL2 course and I am extremely satisfied with the knowledge acquired, the practice and the experience overall. Gary is a fantastic instructor, a true sea wolf, experienced, patient and with a nice humor. I would definitely recommend it for anybody who wants to learn more, more experienced and not. It's a very good value for money.

The PBL2 is really a great introduction into boating. Gary is a great teacher and the support by Hela when I had any questions about the license was perfect too. The price is fair, especially considering the new equipment and course limitation to 3 people. Highly recommended!

A great few days on the water learning all about how to safely operate a powerboat. The course wasn't too 'heavy' and provided all the basics we needed to be able to operate a craft in close quarters and also out in open water. Both of us had some experience but the course was invaluable in giving that extra confidence to get out and about - 100% recommended! Our instructor was interesting and knowledgeable and made the course a very relaxing experience.
