5 year old daughter did a week of the spider monkey lessons which she loved. Activities were adapted to kids skills, and confidence (sailing, kayak, building a paper boat when it was too windy to go out). Her instructor Josie was fantastic and helped her grow and learn so much in a week. We will come back!

What an fantastic day my ten year old daughter had.

We found the activity that morning when searching what to do. The staff were amazing, they made my daughter feel safe and comfortable and soon gave her the confidence to kayak and paddle board with no previous experience.......

I also can't believe that the centre put this on completely free of charge. We will definitely be visiting again for the activities arranged in the future.

Thankyou to all the staff who helped to run the boatgen today.

This place is just amazing!! My son Sam loves everything about it, the activities, the equipment and most of all the people. We couldn’t name one person as EVERYONE is brilliant. Always greeted by name and with a smile. It’s rare to find somewhere where every single person is outstanding in what they do. I can’t praise Andrew Simpson Centre Portsmouth enough. Thank you for making us ( what feels like ) part of your water sports family..

Fantastic! We had a windsurfing session and our instructors Ben + Wilson were so kind and helpful. I was nervous but they gave me time + support, and I did it! I actually windsurfed! Thank you so much guys! And thank you to Ross who greeted us with a smile and answered all our questions. What a fabulous team!

The team are absolutely awe inspiring and do such an incredible job. Our 8 yr old did RYA 1&2 in a wk and absolutely adored it while learning so much from such experienced and in touch teachers who made her feel part of a team. The centre do so much and we are planning to paddle board and go on to our next stages. It’s hard to even consider going anywhere else to do water sports as they have really gained our trust. They are such a credit to the sailing & water sports industry. We are v experienced sailors of big boats and have been blown away by the centre. Also an incredible legacy to an incredible man (Andrew Simpson) who would be so proud of what this centre has done in his name. They are inspirational.

My son did an adventure sports week here this summer and has talked non stop about how much fun he had. Sounds like the staff are amazing and have a brilliant rapport with the groups. Also being right on the shore and having what looks like incredible facility and equipment. Thank you.

My children took part in a beginner sailing course for a week. They loved it so much. We will be going back next year.
