About Sailing Pro Italy

Sailing Pro Italy is a Società Sportiva Dilettantistica a r.l. (SSD) with registered office in Rome. RYA practical courses run from Procida, a short sail from Capri. Our purpose is the promotion and exercise of amateur sports activities—training, preparation, and management of sailing—delivered with professional standards.

Sailing Pro SSD is an Ente di Promozione Sportiva (EPS) recognised by the Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI). All RYA courses are held in English. Small crews, tailored drills, and clear briefs/debriefs keep progress steady for every level.

RYA stands for Royal Yachting Association. Set up in 1875 as the Yacht Racing Association, the RYA has since become the national governing body for dinghy, motor and sail cruising, all forms of sail racing, RIBs and sportsboats, windsurfing and personal watercraft.

The RYA exists to get more people into boating and watersport activities, promote safe boating practices and raise the standards of yachting and sailing in the UK through its network of more than 2,400 RYA recognised training centres in more than 58 countries, and more than 1,500 RYA affiliated clubs.
