First time on a boat

Learning to navigate, what to know

Practical Guide

Contrary to misconceptions, learning sailing is not that complicated and not necessarily that expensive!

Sailing on a sailboat is accessible to everyone, even complete beginners. Above all, learning requires a lot of practice and experience in the field.

To gain experience and learn to sail safely, a sailing course or simple outings are the ideal option. Sailing courses and educational outings are led by experienced skippers and sailing instructors and offer a unique opportunity to embark and discover the pleasure of sailing.

Courses and learning trips for newbies

If you've never set foot on a boat, don't worry! Learning to sail is an experience within everyone's reach. A great idea to start learning the basics of sailing and enjoy the sea all year round.

A sailing course will introduce you to the first maneuvers and teach you the basics of sailing on a sailboat or catamaran. You will be guided by an experienced skipper who will make the learning experience enjoyable and effective.

Finally, remember that every sea trip  or sailing vacation is an excellent opportunity to start learning about sailing and offshore sailing.

For the more experienced

If you already have sailing experience and wish to improve your skills, an advanced sailing course is definitely the right option. The goal is to acquire specific knowledge (motor maneuvering, mooring in port, night sailing, sail trim) and finally become autonomous in running the boat.

 

Under the guidance of a professional skipper, you will gradually gain autonomy in various wind and sea conditions. You will learn advanced maneuvers and gain the confidence to handle a sailboat safely and efficiently.
