Je n'avais jamais navigué auparavant et autant vous dire que je ne pouvais espérer mieux que ce stage pour apprendre. Et quel progrès en si peu de temps! Grand marin, Cyril nous a fait profiter de son expérience ainsi que de ses nombreuses histoires au travers de ses aventures sur les mers du globe. Il nous a aidé à appréhender tous les aspects de la navigation à voile et de la vie à bord en s'adaptant au niveau de chacun, le tout dans un décor de carte-postale. Bref, je recommande vivement ses stages à toute personne qui souhaite découvrir et apprendre, vous trouverez difficilement meilleure école que le Solal.

Skipper molto preparato, ha messo tutti a proprio agio. Barca confortevole, una giusta via di mezzo tra creciera e regata. Comoda e spaziosa per la crociera ma anche con la possibilità di molte regolazioni più caratteristiche della regata. Esperienza positiva! Assolutamente da ripetere!

En un mot, GENIAL ! J'ai adoré ces 5 jours à bord du Solal en companie de Cyril ! On apprend en 3 dimenssions : la théorie (pour comprendre et organiser les MO) suivi très rapidement de la pratique. La 3ème dimension d'apprentissage est issue de l'experience de naviguation de Cyril avec de nombreuses péripéties ce qui permet de s'enrichir également je dirai autant que la théorie et la pratique de la voile ! Bref je recommande sans hésiter ! @bientôt et encore Merci Cyril ! ;-)

Tips to help you to better plan for your next sailing course or regatta holiday:

All you need to know about your next sailing cruise.

Learning to sail: how much does it cost?

You can find sailing courses from €150 on weekends and €400 on weekdays. This amount then varies according to several parameters such as the destination, style of the boat and proposed itinerary. Like with any other such experience, the cost of transport to and from the sailing trip, the participation in the ship's cash float (often around €150 per week), as well as the extras during your cruise, such as meals out.

The best destinations for an adult sailing course

Each destination is different and therefore so too are the possibilities. For a weekend sailing course, there is availability in more northern European destinations such as France - including Brittany, the French Riviera, the Atlantic coast. Across the Mediterranean, several areas are particularly well suited for a one-week sailing course: Croatia, the Greek Cyclades, the Balearic Islands, Corsica and Sardinia. For those who wish to combine learning to sail with the sun of the tropics, fly to the Caribbean Sea and sail in the paradise islands of the Grenadines or Guadeloupe.

I am a beginner - I am a pro. Is there an experience for me?

If you have never sailed before and would like to discover this new feeling, we recommend that you head for a discovery trip where you can learn how to steer, hoist, and handle the sails. For those who wish to improve their knowledge - including cartography, meteorology, night navigation, spinnaker, radios - recommend that you go on more technical and longer sailing courses (1 week or more) that will allow you to fully immerse yourself in the manoeuvres and life on board. For the more adventurous, cross the Channel, the Atlantic or the Mediterranean!

Sailing internship: Finally make your dream of learning to sail come true

There are dreams that can now be easily realised - learning to sail is part of it! No special knowledge is required to start sailing with a professional skipper who will gradually transmit his passion and advice to you during sailing courses corresponding to your level. Get ready to share unique experiences with other crew members and enjoy the friendliness of living on board a sailboat.
