Trusted by sailing schools & training centres worldwide
We get the way sailing schools actually run.
Broad Reach was built alongside working training centres. Every feature exists because a Principal, Chief Instructor or office manager at a real school asked us for it, and we shipped it.
That focus shows up in the details generic tools miss: shared boat capacity across overlapping courses, full RYA pathway progression per student, private cabins (optional), and sign‑off flows that work on a wet iPad at the pontoon.
One boat, overlapping courses — without the double‑booking headache.
A Day Skipper, a Competent Crew and a Start Yachting student can all share the same yacht on the same weekend — as long as the berths add up. Broad Reach tracks capacity per resource and per course, so the schedule fills intelligently instead of blocking you out.
- Share vessels, instructors and cabins across multiple bookings
- Live availability updates as students book, cancel or move
- Works for day courses, liveaboards, charters, mile builders, etc
- Overbooking warnings before you ever confirm a schedule
Bundle courses the way students actually buy them.
Sell Competent Crew + Day Skipper as a single pathway. Throw in the shore‑based theory. Add a mile builder. Broad Reach handles mixed schedules, part‑payments, gift cards and group discounts inside a single, clean checkout.
- Multi‑course packages with a single payment flow
- Mix practical, theory and online courses in one bundle
- Automatic allocation as each course fills on the schedule
- Flexible pricing, deposits and group discounts
From first tack to Yachtmaster — we're alongside your school the whole way.
See every student’s journey — from Start Yachting to Yachtmaster.
Every client has a living training record. Broad Reach tracks which RYA (and IYT / ASA) courses they’ve completed, what’s next on the pathway, and surfaces relevant upsells at the right moment — without anyone digging through a spreadsheet.
- Automatic pathway progression across every scheme you teach
- Certificates, logbook hours and sign‑offs in one place
- Suggest the next course at checkout — no more lost upsells
- Full RYA, IYT and ASA scheme support out of the box
Booking to sign‑off to review — hands‑free.
The moment a student books, Broad Reach takes over: confirmation emails, joining instructions, waiver chasers, payment reminders, day‑before briefings, post‑course sign‑offs, certificate delivery, and an automated review request once it’s all done.
- Automated emails and SMS across the full booking lifecycle
- Digital waivers, medical forms and T&Cs signed on arrival
- Instructor sign‑off flow on tablet — certificate out the door
- Review requests trigger the moment a course is complete
