Whether you're a skipper, crew member or passionate about the sea, you know that to sail safely (or to add miles in your responsible PPER statement) you need more than theory: you need real experience.

We offer you internships designed so that you are not a passenger, but an active part of the crew. You will sail through the waters of Ibiza and Alicante aboard an oceanic sailboat built of naval steel, acquiring essential skills from expert instructors.

During this journey, you will experience the reality of a boss in charge and you will learn to manage autonomously:

• Vessel inspection: Exhaustive testing and analysis of the critical points of the boat you are going to skipper before setting sail.

• Advanced boat control: Mastery of the controls of the 2 motors, use of the bow propeller joystick for high-precision maneuvers and autopilot management for more relaxed navigation.

• State-of-the-art electronic navigation: You'll get the most out of the sailboat's instrumentation. You will learn to interpret radar, plot precise routes with 2 plotters (Navionics cartography) and 2 GPS, control maritime traffic with the AIS system, and use the probe and wind equipment.

• Route preparation: Strategic planning based on weather forecasts.

• Sailing improvement: Advanced use and management of the equipment in Solent that equips the sailboat (mainsail with forced sabers, Genova 1 and Genova 2) to get the most out of the wind.

• Anchorage management: Choosing the optimal location and safe mooring maneuvers.

• Advanced navigation: Resolution of difficult passages, crossings and prevention of boarding with other vessels.

• Onboard leadership: Training, organization and management of the crew.

• Contingency resolution: How to calmly and effectively deal with real problems that arise during a journey.

  • Plan
    Your Journey: Valencia - Ibiza - Costa Alicante - Valencia. A 220-mile high altitude route designed for your learning, combining navigation and maneuvering.



    The route step by step:

    o Departure: We set sail from Valencia to Ibiza (Es Vedrà/Conejera area), where we will arrive at dawn, just for breakfast.

    o In Ibiza: We will spend the morning going to the seaside and discovering the coastline. After lunch, we will head towards Cabo de la Nao (Jávea).

    o Return: We will arrive at the coast of Alicante in the middle of the night. We will take a technical break to regain our strength and, at dawn, we will start the final return to Valencia.



    You'll sail on a 16-meter-long (53-foot) ocean sailboat, fully equipped. You will learn from Toni, Merchant Marine Altitude Patron and Carlos, Professional PPER Recreational Boat Skipper, both with extensive experience.



    Standard schedule: Boarding the first day at 18:00 and disembarking 48 hours later (third day) at 18:00 hours.

Boat details

This sailboat was designed in the Iñigo Echenique naval engineering cabinet. It is a comfortable and functional sailboat, built to sail in any sea and for its passengers to enjoy great comfort and safety in all its spaces.

FEATURES

Length: 16.1 meters.
Beam: 4.6 meters.
Capacity: 9/11 passengers (plus a skipper).
Displacement: 19 tons.
Engines: 2 turbo diesel engines of 110 HP each.
Bow thruster.
Electricity on board: 12 and 220 volts. We carry Solar Plates.
Vedic surface: 175 m (Major, Genoa and Trinqueta)
Water: 2,400 liters.
Diesel: 1,400 liters. As we are concerned about safety, the hull of our sailboat is made of steel, the material preferred by oceanic navigators for its maximum strength and safety.

When the most common in the entire fleet of rental boats is to carry an engine, we carry 2 engines, to increase safety when we sail. When the boat was designed, we took it very seriously that the boat was very safe and having 2 propellers gave it great safety. When there is no wind the boat only sails with one engine but has the other one in case it needs more power and having 2 engines prevents the boat from being stopped due to a breakdown.

It is also common in rental boats that have very low capacity water and diesel fuel tanks. In the sailboat we seek maximum comfort for the crew, so our autonomy of water and diesel is more than double that of the sailboats of this length.

EQUIPMENT:

Mayor, Genoa and Trinqueta.
VHF radio and long range shortwave radio BLU
Radar, Navigation and Radiobaliza of satellite location.
AIS Automatic Boat Identification System
Color television and DVD.
Stereo radio cassette and CD with MP3, with speakers in bath and lounge.
Gas oven, 220 liter fridge and 80 liter freezer.
Outdoor shower with hot water.
Seat mats and bathtub backrests
Large sun awnings.
Liferaft for 12 people.

    Intense 48-hour sailing trip. With Toni as skipper and a cohesive and lively team, the experience has been very interesting, didactic and constructive. The moments that navigation allowed, Toni took advantage of them to give us new theoretical and practical knowledge. Highly recommended

    After attending other similar trips, I do not hesitate to give this experience 5 stars. Carlos is an exceptional Captain, trainer and host. Someone who loves his job as much as the sea. Your boat is unique, in perfect condition and very clean. He made us an impressive rice, in line with everything else.
