Sailing classes for adults on weekends in the bay of Alicante, Arenales del Sol and Tabarca Island, on Saturday mornings and afternoons and Sunday mornings only.

Schedule:
Saturday: 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Sunday: 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Approximate schedule subject to weather conditions.

If you are travelling from far away you can sleep on the boat for €30/night, the nights before the courses.

You can have a complete nautical weekend arriving on Friday afternoon around 8:00 pm and finishing on Sunday at 2:30 pm.

If you want to have the experience of sailing, you can sign up with us and you will practice on a large cruise-regatta boat (First 40.7). No previous knowledge or qualification is necessary, we will explain everything to you on the boat.

It is also aimed at those who do not have a nautical qualification or experience and want to practice sailing. We adapt to your level and we assure you that you will leave with something new to learn.

You will sail with an instructor with more than 30 years of experience in teaching. You will have the feeling of sailing in a relaxed manner, without noise, you will only hear the wind and the waves, you will actively participate in the maneuvers, there will be a rotation of positions among all the participants on this short trip through the bay.

If the weather is good, we will go around Tabarca Island and you will be able to see it from the sea (the Quarry, the Port, the Islote de la Nao, the Farallones, the Islote de la Galera, the Beach, ...).

    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.

    Good experience. Perhaps a little lack of practical theoretical information to be a crash course.
