Course offered by Jorge

8 hours

Very popular activity. Places usually run out 76 days before leaving
Learn to sail a sailboat on your own, feeling safe and prepared to do all the maneuvers.

There are many people who, after obtaining a nautical qualification, never sail because they do not have the necessary ease to do so with confidence. If you feel in this situation, this course is for you!

We will get to the point, 100% practical, we will practice the maneuvers you need, whether inside the port (docking and undocking), or sailing maneuvers (Tacking, jibing, understanding how sails work, etc...)

The idea is that you can do everything guided by an instructor who will tell you how to proceed. And as many times as you need until you feel safe. It is an ideal course if you are learning or have just obtained a nautical qualification and your goal is to be able to sail a rented or owned sailing boat.

  • Plan
    For 8 hours and on board a Sun Odyssey 42, you will be able to practice all the maneuvers you need with a private sailing instructor, for you.

    This course does not have a specific program. As it is a private course, it will be 100% adapted to your level and needs.

    The idea is that when you finish the class you feel better able to rent a boat on your own or take your own boat or that of an acquaintance.

    The schedule can be adapted to the interest of the student, always subject to the availability of the boat and instructor (check your dates and times of interest to confirm).

Other information
The course consists of 8 hours during a day. It is a private course for only one person, but if you want to bring companions, you can do it, up to a maximum of four people on board (not counting the instructor).

If you are interested in the course lasting more than one day, contact privately to agree on a price, depending on the days to be reserved.

Meals and drinks on board will be at the student's expense. The instructor must be taken into account for the food and drink carried on board. If the student prefers, a break can be made during the 8 hours to eat in port.

    The instructor was Alberto, with whom I have already been twice. He is an instructor who is very patient and gives you confidence when you have to do things yourself.

    It was the second time I did this type of journey. Our skipper was not Jorge. I missed planning to see more coves and take advantage of the days. The day we went to a single cove in Ibiza, it was wasted, because we spent more time sailing to find the cove. I would propose to focus the journey on getting to know a single island.

    Excellent experience, both the skipper and the team, as well as the rest of the participants, made the day a beautiful experience. The weather was with us during the departure and the boat was very comfortable. It's a pity that the organization of the Ocean Race placed us so far away and we couldn't get closer.

    Fantastic experience, Alberto was our skipper, great and super professional. He gave us alternatives and all the facilities. The boat needs some repasillo.
    I had a great time, I will repeat

  • Hello, these practices would be valid to validate the hours for sailing habilitation for the PER
    thank you
    • If possible. In order for sailing qualification practices to be certified, it is necessary to reserve at least two days of the course, since the regulations require a minimum of 16 hours, with a maximum of 8 hours per day. By doing it private in addition to the official program you will practice much more and it will help you to obtain the certificate and gain much more fluency.

  • I have the PER and I would like to rent a sailboat next summer and take it myself, how many days of the course do I need to be prepared?
    • It is a difficult question, it depends on the previous level of each one and there are those who need more or less time to feel safe. The first day you may realize how much you need. I would tell you that between 2 and 5 days of sailing, with different wind conditions... if you actively participate and take advantage of it, you will quickly gain ease.

  • Is it possible to reserve several days in a row? If so, can I stay overnight on the boat?
    • The activity has the possibility of being personalized according to the demand of the interested party, we have recently planned this course in five days. You will find it if you search for "Intensive private sailing course for 5 days in Alicante Sailwiz".
      Regarding your question about spending the night on the boat, if possible.
