Sailing Weekend: Experience and Improvement in the Bay

Discover the essence of sailing with a proposal designed both for those looking for their first contact with the sea and for sailors who want to perfect their technique. We will sail through the most spectacular places on the coast: the Bay of Alicante, Arenales del Sol and the emblematic Tabarca Island.

The Onboard Experience

You will sail on a Dehler 38, an 11.80 m long cruiser regatta, ideal for combining comfort with high nautical performance. Under the guidance of an instructor with more than 30 years of experience, you will actively participate in all maneuvers:

☆ Dynamic learning: Position rotation so that all participants experience every facet of navigation.

☆ Advanced technique: If weather conditions permit, we will practice using carrier candles such as Code 0.

☆ Total disconnection: Experience the unique feeling of sailing without engines, enjoying only the sound of wind and waves.

Itinerary and Training

We fully adapt to your previous level. It is not necessary to have previous qualifications or knowledge; the objective is for each crew member to return to earth with new knowledge and an unforgettable experience.

If the weather is favorable, we will circumnavigate the island of Tabarca, allowing you to discover unique places from the sea such as La Cantera, the Port, the Islet of La Nao, Los Farallones and La Galera.

Learn to sail while experiencing the sea.

Training that adapts to your level to ensure that you always leave with new nautical knowledge under your arm.

    If you are looking for preparation for regatta sailing or you just want to challenge your “everyday” sail trimming habits with real fine-tuning of the sails, this course is for you. The boat is well looked after by Carlos and you can always ask him for advice.

    Thank you very much Robert for your opinion, we had 4 intense days of sailing with different winds. It was a pleasure to have you as part of the crew for this course.

    All the best,
    Carlos

    It has been a very positive and interesting experience. Carlos is a very experienced skipper and also very pedagogical. Very attentive to everyone. We were only able to do it on Saturday and with a lot of wind. On Sunday we couldn't go out because of the storm. I hope they return the proportional amount to me.

    Thank you very much for the comments and you coped very well with the conditions we had that were not predicted. On Sunday I spoke with Sailwiz and today they confirmed that, of course, they would refund you the morning we couldn't go out.
    Greetings to both of them and especially to the sailor Encarna

    It was my first experience after completing the mandatory PER internships, and it turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. Someone experienced (in Carlos's case a lot) who will explain to you how things should be done, while you are the one who does them. It adapts to your level. I will continue learning with him.
    Thanks a lot.
