Cruising sailing practices on the voyage to Morocco

Take your nautical skills to the next level with total immersion. You won't be just a passenger: you'll be part of the crew on an international voyage designed to gain confidence, autonomy and real experience at sea.

Aboard our 14-meter-long sailboat, equipped with 4 cabins and 3 bathrooms, you will learn the comprehensive management of a yacht: route planning, meteorology, advanced trimming, use of radar/AIS and the logistics of life on board.

At the end of the trip, you will receive a certificate from the school with the miles navigated for your log book, allowing you to officially accredit the hours of sailing and the training received.

Plan

Monday: The start of the adventure

• 8:00 p.m. — Heading South: We set sail from the Costa del Sol with the last lights of the day. We will start a night navigation of approximately 14 hours, the perfect opportunity to practice guards, interpretation of lights, star orientation and electronic navigation in real conditions.

Tuesday: Contrast and Tradition

• Tomorrow — Anchorage in Cabo Negro: We will wake up with the profile of the African coast on the horizon. We will anchor in the waters of Cabo Negro to enjoy lunch and a relaxing bath after the night cruise.

• Coastal Sailing: We will explore the surprising Moroccan coast on a two-hour journey that will captivate you with its landscapes.

• Night — Immersion in Tetouan: We will go ashore to get lost in the colors and scents of the Tetouan Souk. We will conclude the day with a traditional dinner in the heart of the city, immersing ourselves in its culture.

Wednesday: Relax and the “Pearl” of the Strait

• Tomorrow — Heading to Ceuta: After having breakfast at Marina Smir, we will release moorings. It will be a relaxed and unhurried coastal navigation, ideal for perfecting sail trimming and maneuvering.

• Noon — Levante Bay: We will anchor in Ceuta Bay to eat on board and enjoy a break with privileged views of the walled city.

• Night — Marina Hércules: We will dock in the center of Ceuta. You'll have the afternoon free to explore its historic streets and we'll enjoy a farewell dinner in its vibrant gastronomic area.

Thursday: The Return and Satisfaction of the Sailor

• High Altitude Crossing: We started the crossing back to Benalmádena. It's time to put everything you've learned to the test: navigation tactics, steering the wheel and taking advantage of the wind in the open ocean.

• Arrival at the Port: We will arrive in the afternoon with the satisfaction of having completed an international voyage.

• Expedition Closing: As a mark of good maritime ethics, we will spend some time leaving our ship pristine and in perfect condition, thus ending an unforgettable experience.
