Getting miles and gaining experience is essential for any boater in training. Embark on this Mile Building journey that we will take from San José, Almería, to Baiona to enjoy first-class sailing and training.

Once on the boat, you'll get expert guidance from the skipper, from navigating digital media and charts to trimming the sails, you'll gain a lot of experience and you'll cover 670 nautical miles. On the route there will be a mix of day and night navigation, the usual surveillance system on board: the guards. There are many miles to go, so we will do a daily weather analysis on a push unless there is a weather alert.

Our Mile Building program is designed for you to accumulate practice with instructors who will help you shorten training deadlines. After the sun goes down, the sea seems like a very different place. In this activity, you will practice night sailing, knowing and practicing the use of electronic aids that modern ships have.

As you progress through the RYA training scheme, you'll need accumulated miles for Yachtmaster courses. In this activity, we covered 670 miles, more than half of it in Tidal Waters. RYA skipper/Yachtmaster in training who need 60-mile tickets are recommended to first obtain the theoretical Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster.

Improve your leadership, navigation and route planning skills. Build and improve your confidence in night sailing.

    Fantastic! In general, an instructor is expected to have knowledge and to be able to transmit it. With him, in addition to all this, it is worth appreciating the passion with which he does it and his constant emphasis on Safety.
