What do we offer?
This cruise is a safe, comfortable and very enjoyable introduction
to the world of offshore sailing. We combine training from absolute basics
with the holiday atmosphere of the Mediterranean Sea – sunshine, warm water,
bays and a calm rhythm of the day.
Over the course of 5 days participants gradually discover:
- how an offshore yacht operates
- what life at sea looks like
- how the crew and captain work
- how to move safely on open waters
The training is conducted at a calm pace, with emphasis
on understanding and practice rather than “covering the material”.
The program includes:
- basics of marine navigation
- meteorology in Mediterranean conditions
- yacht construction and operation
- seamanship work
- basic port manoeuvres
- first independent yacht handling under the captain’s supervision
Everything takes place under the supervision of an experienced
captain–instructor team specializing
in working with beginners.
We take care of safety, a good atmosphere and psychological comfort –
there are no grades, pressure or stress.
At the same time the cruise has a full holiday character.
The Mediterranean Sea is the perfect place to combine learning with pleasure:
- we visit ports and historic towns
- we stop in picturesque bays
- we enjoy sea swimming and snorkeling
- we organize water and beach sports
- in the evenings we integrate in a light southern atmosphere
- we complement the program with yoga and Latin dance
This is an offer for those who want to try offshore sailing
in the best possible conditions – warm sea,
beautiful landscapes, comfortable yachts and professional guidance.
Recreational participation – is it possible?
Yes, absolutely.
If you would like to take part in the cruise purely
in a recreational format, without active participation in the training –
this offer is also for you.
Captain and crew:
- take full responsibility for operating the yacht
- ensure safety and organization of the cruise
- invite you to participate in activities only when you feel like it
You may learn – or simply relax.
The decision is yours.
