What our clients say

“Being new to boat ownership, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Thomas through the White Tip ‘park like a pro’ course, which has been transformational for my overall sailing confidence. Thomas brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to help you master your weak areas and build experience safely and at your own pace”.

What our clients say

“I have worked with Thomas and in the past and know his qualities. So when I had a new and bigger boat delivered at the start of the 2023 season I did not hesitate for a minute to give him a call again. Thomas is very knowledgeable, patient and pragmatic. He has the ability to make you understand the boat better and how manage the boat in different situations: in the marina, sail handling/ trim, safety but also passage planning and maintenance”.

What our clients say

“Two years ago the two of us started a journey to learn how to sail yachts. We were so fortunate to meet Whitetip. What mattered most to us was the flexibility to do things our own way and learn at our own pace. Thomas is an outstanding coach with high standards who goes well beyond the syllabus to impart his knowledge and passion for sailing. We feel we had a much higher quality training experience than the group programmes that are common at training centers.

Whitetip has given us the skills to confidently skipper yachts and has opened the world of sailing to us. And above all, the team are incredible people who are a joy to spend time with. We’re sailors now!”
