Practices 48 hours. Skipper / Yacht Captain from Benalmádena

Regulatory 48-hour internships for the Yacht Skipper and Yacht Captain qualifications.

They will take place over a weekend with departure and arrival in Benalmádena, heading first to Melilla and then passing through the island of Alborán and Motril before returning to the base port.

This voyage requires an advanced level of seamanship and will follow the official internship program.

We will plan the route together, carefully analyzing the weather.
After a safety meeting we cast off and begin a journey in which we will travel through the waters of the Alboran Sea, the Strait of Gibraltar or North Africa.

We will review the fundamentals of coastal navigation and safety. We will organize guards and life on board. The entire crew will practice with the rudder to follow the appropriate route, we will practice night navigation, chart and electronic navigation, we will train maneuvers and sailing.

Plan

We will leave the port of Benalmádena on Friday at mid-afternoon towards Alborán Island.
We will steer the helm all night since it is a practice and everyone will take the boat as guards. If the sky is clear, we will use the reference stars to follow the course.
At dawn on Saturday we will find ourselves near the Island of Alborán, which we will circle towards the coast of Granada.
The next morning we will leave for Malaga making some stops to arrive in Benalmádena mid afternoon on Sunday.

***The itinerary and schedules may change depending on the weather and navigation circumstances.

Boat details

Imagine a sailboat where the interior habitability will make you feel comfortable throughout the day, because the Bavaria 46 is characterized by its spaciousness, where you can fully coexist during crossings of several days comfortably.

To that add the pleasure of sailing in a fast boat, with a very noble handling and capable of transmitting the best sensations when sailing.

With all this, add the advantage of being at sea, being able to enjoy the sun on your deck and a sunset while we prepare dinner in your large bathtub at the stern.

And as icing on the cake, the company and the feeling of being free while sailing.

Travesía en velero de Ibiza a Benalmádena

Miguel

August of 2024

The skipper was not Enrique, who is the owner of the boat, but Alejandro, who has been hired for a few months. The skipper was magnificent, very patient, managing the most complicated moments with great calm and knowledge. The maintenance of the boat could clearly be improved.
