Very popular activity. Places usually sell out 20 days before the start
Sailing is one of the most pleasant activities where you can enjoy nature, the sea breeze and the tranquility of sailing without noise or other disturbances, offering you incomparable moments of relaxation.

If you want to learn the art of sailing on a sailboat, sign up for this sail trimming course in which we will practice the most common maneuvers and learn the basics of trimming. We will explain how to set the sails on each course to achieve good speed and stability performance.

Learning to trim sails will allow you to optimize the flow of the wind to increase the speed of your sailboat during navigation. This sailing course does not require a nautical qualification.

    Despite the weather forecasts, it was a clear day, a good temperature and favorable winds for the practice. Miguel Angel was 10. Excellent advice, knowledge, teaching and skills that he knew how to transmit to me and that I will always try to remember. I sincerely thank you.
