Internationally recognised sailing and powerboat qualifications at the V&A Waterfront. OSSA trains the next generation of seafarers, and when the boats aren’t in training they’re available for charter.
If you’ve ever thought about a life on the water, OSSA is the place to start.
One of only two institutions at the V&A Waterfront offering sailing and powerboat instruction, OSSA trains young people to international qualification standards and actively assists graduates in securing employment on superyachts in the Mediterranean and Caribbean.
When the boats aren’t being used for courses, they’re available for charter, along with jet skis, powerboats, wakeboards, wake snakes and facilities for fishing and private sailing.
Film shoots also regularly use the OSSA fleet. Whatever your water-based need, they probably have it covered.
