Ready to embark on an exciting journey into the world of sailing? Our beginner’s course is the perfect way to get started, whether you’re looking to explore the open water or simply enjoy the freedom of the sea.
This course is tailored for beginners, providing a thorough introduction to sailing basics. Whether you’re completely new to sailboats or have some experience, our expert instructors will walk you through the essentials, ensuring a fun and safe learning experience.
Course Schedule & Key Details:
Friday (6:00 PM – 8:00 PM) – Theory Session
Our first session is land-based (no getting wet!). We’ll start with a classroom lesson, followed by an outdoor session where you’ll get hands-on with one of our boats. Expect to spend about 30 minutes indoors and 1.5 hours outdoors. The weather can get chilly in the evenings, so please dress warmly.
Saturday & Sunday (10:00 AM – 4:00 PM) – On-Water Sessions
These full-day sessions are focused on sailing practice. Be sure to bring two sets of clothes, in case you get wet and need a change. Waterproof or rainproof clothing is recommended, though regular warm sportswear will also work. Wetsuits are optional—while they are ideal for activities with constant water contact (like windsurfing), they’re not necessary for this course.
Food and Hydration: As the course runs for 6 hours each day, it’s essential to bring food and water with you. The club is equipped with a kitchen, fridge, and coffee maker for your convenience, and there will be a short lunch break so you can refuel.
Sun Protection: Sailing in the sun can be intense, so make sure to apply sunscreen and wear a hat or cap for protection. Dress appropriately for sunny conditions to stay comfortable throughout the day.
Gloves: We highly recommend wearing them to protect your hands. Sailing gloves or basic work gloves are ideal for the task.
Get ready for an unforgettable experience on the water—let’s set sail and make some memories!
