Why generic booking tools
don't cut it for RYA

Rezdy, FareHarbor, and Sailia are great — for generic tours and activities. But RYA training centres have unique needs that off‑the‑shelf tools simply can't handle.

  • Qualification Pathways

    Track student progression from Competent Crew through Yachtmaster Ocean

  • Instructor Certification Tracking

    Monitor instructor qualifications, expiry dates, and teaching assignments

  • Cabin & Vessel Management

    Allocate berths for multi‑day courses, manage overnight stays, and track boat capacity

  • RYA Certificate Generation

    Completion flows, certificate tracking, and seamless integration with RYA requirements

  • Multi‑Tenant Architecture

    Your data is completely isolated. Multiple locations, one dashboard.

What Centres Say

Loved by sailing schools

"We switched from spreadsheets and three separate tools to Broad Reach. The time we've saved on admin alone is incredible — and our students can book courses at 2am without us lifting a finger."

Sarah Mitchell

Principal, Solent Sailing Academy

"The certification tracking is a game changer. We can see exactly where every student is on their journey, and the automated reminders keep them coming back for the next course."

James Thornton

Chief Instructor, Hamble School of Yachting

"We tried Rezdy and FareHarbor — neither understood our cabin scheduling or multi‑day course structure. Broad Reach was built for exactly how we operate. Finally."

Emma Hartley

Director, South Coast Watersports
