For those who are willing to know ocean navigation and the fundamental principles of safety on board, managing on-call shifts, systems of communication on board, meteorology, planning the route with possible alternative mooring plans. We will show you how equipment like Epirb, VHF in Distress are used, and also principles about communication via VHF radio, GPS, Ais and about how to manage energy and water.
This is a unique experience to learn to have a contact with the sea in complete safety, to recognize the routes of the ships by their navigation lights and have some basic knowledge to be able, one day, to cross the Atlantic sea on sailing boat.

TIPS


  • who is a sailing holiday for?

    Everybody! Also for those who have never been on a boat

  • what kind of suitcase and what to pack?

    Absolutely NOT rigid SUITCASES. Bags are ideal because they can be easily put in lockers. Usually, when we go on holiday, we are tempted to bring a lot of stuff with us, but on a sailing holiday you will need swimming costumes, some t-shirts or pareos, hiking books for excursions, shorts, a towel and a beach towel.

    Remember to bring a hat, sun cream, sunglasses and flip-flops.

  • Linen, and blankets?

    You will find everything on board, we will think about it!

  • Can we recharge mobile phones or computers or ipads?

    The boat is equipped with USB plugs, but honestly our hope is that this sailing holiday will give you the possibility to forget about technology and social networks; in any case, it is possible to recharge them, but always bearing in mind that energy is limited.
