Throughout this week, you will immerse yourself in boat life, learning basic seamanship and sailing skills. By the end of this training, you will have grasped the basics of boat types, boat parts and equipment, basic sail handling, helmsmanship, and, most importantly, safe living aboard. You will receive your first Logbook at the weekend, with your first completed 120nm journey recorded.

Our Daily Program:

 

You can take a light walk for 1 hour every morning during the week. We will relax our muscles with different movements while enjoying the views of the beautiful bays. After swimming, we have breakfast and start our courses. When the wind starts, we will go out to sea. We will keep daily distances to 15 - 20 nautical miles and do plenty of maneuver training. In the evening, you can approach a bay pier and rest. If you want, you can prepare a meal on the boat, or we can eat in restaurants. Your instructor will be your guest for dinner.
