Learn how to plan a trip to the Balearic Islands and practice different anchoring techniques. We invite you to embark on our sailboat for 4 days heading to the Balearic Islands, where we will practice various anchoring techniques in paradisiacal coves.

The main objective of this experience is for you to learn how to plan and execute offshore navigation as a skipper, acquiring the necessary skills to anchor safely and enjoy unforgettable nights in coves.

This course is designed for those who already have a nautical qualification and wish to gain experience in offshore sailing and anchoring techniques. It is perfect for those who are considering renting a sailboat to enjoy an unforgettable holiday this summer.

Our initial plan will be to set sail from Barcelona and sail towards the Balearic Islands or the Costa Brava, depending on the weather conditions, but always looking for a destination where we can visit several coves where we can drop anchor.

The main blocks of the course will be:

Planning the journey: You will learn to define the route to follow, identify ports of interest and shelters, interpret the weather, calculate fuel consumption, purchase and organize guard shifts.
Execute the crossing as skipper: You will focus on updating the logbook, managing watches, sailing or motor navigation depending on the conditions and the crew.
Selecting coves: You will discover how to choose the ideal cove taking into account its characteristics and weather conditions.
Anchoring practices: We will learn to carry out anchoring maneuvers and safely raise the anchor, perfecting these key techniques to spend peaceful nights spending the night in coves.

  • Plan
    The planning will be as follows:

    First day: We will meet on board at 9:00 a.m. to define the navigation plan and purchase provisions. Once stored and stowed, we will prepare for the crossing, reviewing all the key aspects to ensure safety (weather, route to follow, security, etc.).

    Second day: We will arrive at our destination at dawn, where we will practice our first anchoring.

    Second and third day: We will visit several coves, allowing each crew member to practice anchoring maneuvers.

    Third day in the afternoon: We will prepare for the return journey, setting course for Barcelona.

    Fourth day: We will arrive in Barcelona around 5:00 p.m.

    The route will be subject to weather conditions.

Annya, your instructor and patron in this adventure:

“My adventure at sea began in a big way: crossing the Atlantic 15 years ago. Since then, I haven't stopped sailing. I am a professional skipper and a high-altitude sailor, and together with my partner Martina, we form the only women's high altitude racing team in the A2 category of the Catalunya circuit. I really enjoy teaching and bringing people closer to the world of sailing. I'm waiting for you on board the sailboat this Holy Week to enjoy our wonderful Mediterranean Sea! “


The
variable costs of food, fuel and moorings depend a lot on the students, for the activity we think it could be about 50€ approximately.

    Alejandro has extensive and deep knowledge of the sea, sailing and regattas. You learn a lot from him. The regatta is spectacular. The three days have everything, intensity, demand but also leisure and relaxation. The boat is very well equipped, cared for and maintained. Highly recommended experience.
