Learn to sail in the South East and develop your skills on the beautiful, scenic Mote Park Lake based in Maidstone, Kent, UK.

Mote Park Watersports Centre is an RYA Recognised Training Centre offering a huge variety of sailing activities. Mote Park Watersports Centre is also an RYA Onboard Club for sailing and a Sailability centre offering sailing sessions for disabled sailing. 

Our sailing fleet is made up of fantastic Laser Performance boats, and we have a boat for every occasion. Ranging from single handers so you can practise on your own, double handers which are great for a family day out as well as Catamarans for that burst of speed!
