About the Skipper - Dermot Greer

Owner and Principal Instructor Dermot Greer is an RYA/ISA Yachtmaster Instructor
with over twenty five years sailing experience.
Dermot has sailed all around Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales and well as in
the Mediterranean, the Channel Islands, France and the USA.
Dermot has always loved the water, enjoying swimming and diving before learning
to sail in the early 1990's.
His hobby became a passion and Dermot decided to make a life change.
He founded Sailing Ireland in June 2003 to share his love of sailing.

Since then, Sailing Ireland has taught hundreds of students how to sail and the
year after year repeat and referred customers are testament to the high level of
professionalism and great instruction on offer.
Sailing Ireland do not believe in the "Boot Camp" approach and prefer to sail to the conditions and with the enjoyment and safety of the student as the main priority. Ample shore leave is granted on the courses so that the crew can relax and enjoy the benefits of a new landfall
and to sample its delights.
Check out 'what our customers' say for feedback on us. Sailing should be about having fun and relaxing on the water. Many of our students have gone on to purchase their own boats and some have gone on great adventures to warmer climes. Past Students have completed trans Atlantics, Greenland exploration, extended cruises to the likes of the Med, Canary Islands and Iceland and several have also gained employment in the sailing industry on both Tall Ships and Superyachts. Dermot is always available to offer advice and encouragement in achieving your dreams.
