Langebaan Lagoon
PRACTICAL
Langebaan Lagoon is one of Southern Africa's largest marine sanctuaries and protected wetlands situated on the Cape West Coast (about 60nm from Cape Town), and students either sail from Cape Town or are driven to Langebaan for the start of certain RYA practical modules.
A number of our yachts are moored in the Mykonos Marina or on one of our chain moorings off the picturesque Langebaan Yacht Club.
Langebaan Lagoon is spectacularly beautiful in addition to having training features that are ideally suited to the RYA curriculum, and due to the latter, the RYA have sanctioned this as the official area for RYA examinations in South Africa.
