Why sail with us
A family-run sailing centre with considerable experience in delivering RYA courses and adventure sailing.
MT Sail and Power is an RYA recognised centre based in Fornells in the north of Menorca — one of the finest natural sailing harbours in the Balearics. The school is built on fifty years of yachting and industrial training experience.
We run the full RYA cruising scheme, from Start Yachting to Yachtmaster Ocean, plus mile-builder passages and longer adventure cruises across the Mediterranean, the British Isles and beyond. All instruction is in English. This is a passion, not just a business.
Our yachts
A comfortable, well-found cruising yacht equipped for both training and serious passage-making.
Experienced instruction

How the Academy prepares you
Every practical course is backed by online preparation, so your time on the water is spent sailing rather than catching up on theory. You get access as soon as you book, and your instructor sees your progress before you arrive in Menorca.
Prerequisites, kit list & morePre-course skills check
A short online assessment of your experience, navigation and knots so we can pitch the course at the right level and flag anything to brush up before you fly.
RYA shorebased theory modules
Chartwork, tides, buoyage, IRPCS, passage planning, safety and weather — worked through at your own pace with tutor support and practice exercises.
Your course programme in advance
A day-by-day outline of what you will cover afloat, the joining instructions, kit list and yacht briefing, so you know exactly what to expect on day one.
Feedback and post-course plan
Regular written feedback during the course and a personal development plan afterwards, with the next steps and mileage needed for your following ticket.
