The Docklands Sailing & Watersports Centre | Dswc London Description

The Docklands Sailing and Watersports Centre is based at the west end of Millwall Outer Dock on the Isle of Dogs and offers a huge range of Water Sports training and opportunities. We are a Royal Yachting Association recognised training centre, and deliver courses in Sailing, Windsurfing and Powerboating under the RYA scheme. We also offer British Canoe Union courses in paddlesports. We have a healthy adult membership taking advantage of our Open Sessions and social sailing including our famous Twilight sessions on a Wednesday night. For those wishing to progress their skills further we also run improvers clinics in all sports on a Monday night. For young people we run a twice weekly Youth Club on Monday nights and Sunday mornings, together with advanced sessions for those wishing to take their skills further, sailing racing in particular has become very popular this year with a number of weekly sessions aimed at competitive sailing. In addition to this we run a number of off-site activities including river sailing trips on the Tidal Thames and trips away to other watersports locations. Group bookings of various kinds are also welcome at the centre. We can cater for all ranges of abilities and requirements.

Cracking day for our annual dragon boat fundraiser event last Friday.
20 teams competed, 300 people attended and we raised £15,000 for the Youth Programme!
A massive thanks to all teams, paddlers and spectators who made the event a super-exciting one.
... A very special thank you to the 40+ volunteers - PA, DJ, photographer, helm, instructors, youth volunteers, catering, bar and event staff - we couldn't have done it without you!
Hope to see you all again next year!

We held my mums wake here on 29th March. We was happy with the bar service although only One bar person on he done great. The venue was just right for us as not a big wake so we had the bar area with plenty of seating for us. A nice area with fairy lights which made it cosy and warm . Plenty of parking and bar prices good for London .

User

We had our wedding reception here and all the staff, and especially Amy, were most helpful in both accommodating our needs and helping the event run smoothly on the day. Thank you so much!

Very good facilities and fun place . But miss my Gary

Our Wedding July 2017.

An absolutely amazing experience!! The Events Co-ordinator was able to cater for our every need, from the decor to menu choices from the BBQ, everyting was designed to our taste and delivered with perfection. All staff were friendly, professional and attentive. We hired the Marquee which made the venue look absolutely stunning, all of our guests commented on how pretty the venue looked. I cannot recommend the Sailing Centre enough! If you want a London Wedding at an affordable price, you will not be let down choosing this as your venue. We loved every minute and will definitely use the venue again!

User

Lovely venue and i attended a function there and thought it would great party venue and would definitely enquire about water sports for my child.

User

Here we go into the next Season, had a wedding show last month which was very successful. We will be doing another one so watch this space.



Having an OUT OUT Friday Night this Friday the 4th March, if you want to come along we have a DJ he is the one we recommend for weddings as he has never failed us yet and always gets the party going.



We are taking youth bookings so if your children are 8 to 18 and wants to learn new or improve on Watersports skills give the Centre a call to book them on while there are still places.



The Centre is a registered charity so if you have ideas on fund raising or want to help please call, we are always keen to involve people.

Fantastic night dragon boating (we won)!

2 weeks ago, I did the RYA Level 1 sailing course at DSWC and now I am trying to go there every weekend with mates to improve my sailing and to introduce others to sailing and to the club.



As a charity, It's great value for money. Instructors are very friendly and the theoretical and practical training were both excellent.



Everyone is very helpful; someone will come to assist you as soon as they notice that you need a hand.



I'm really happy I discovered this place and recommend it very strongly to all beginners.



Thank you John, Pete, Charlie and Sam!

I have attended thr Docklands Sailing and Waterports Centre on two occasions for BBQ's the standard of catering was very good and the service was also of a very high standard.

An excellent setting just outside the City of London to enjoy sailing, watersports and social events.

User

Great communication, nice venue however it would been handy to have a kitchen or an area to heat up food.

User

Attended RYA1 in July. Staff snd premises were excellent. Learnt a lot and manning to do more soon.
