Course offered by William

Between 5 and 7 days
Contact
Demand is high. Typically fully booked 92 days out.
Dayskipper certificates are internationally known for their high standard and are usually completed concurrently.

The Component Crew program allows you to become an integral part of a crew, learning the basics and principles of boat operation, from sails to engine, from maneuvers to anchoring. The "Day Skipper" certificate has become the most accredited international nautical license. The qualification can be used for commercial purposes when combined with the STCW courses and a medical certificate. The course aims to develop and define the skills needed to navigate independently and safely, up to 20 miles from a safe port, assuming responsibility for the vessel and crew.

Being able to take this course in a beautiful location like Sardinia is an added bonus. Crystal-clear water, countless bays where you can anchor and spend the night.

The high frequency of windy days allows for pleasant sailing between the islands. Our courses have a maximum of 5 students to ensure the best possible preparation.

  • Plan
    We'll depart from Cannigione or Olbia in Northern Sardinia to sail between the islands of the La Maddalena archipelago and Corsica, taking advantage of the most favorable winds with endless options for every condition and preference.

    We will be able to practice planning routes using both the nautical chart and the on-board instruments.

    We will pay close attention to port maneuvers in various conditions so that we can face any situation safely and calmly.
    Also how to take a buoy or anchor in the presence of other boats.

    The course will allow you to increase your experience so you can navigate independently.

Our boats are the Beneteau 38.1 and the Pogo 36, both fun, educational, comfortable and easy boats.
Extremely spacious both outside and inside.
Thanks to their sailing performance, they allow you to sail constantly, starting to plane at 8 knots of speed with 12 knots of wind.
They will allow us to undertake long voyages in the Mediterranean Sea with pleasure and safety.

    Paola is an excellent, highly experienced (and very patient) instructor, and I was on a top quality and fun boat, learning how to Day Skipper around some of the most beautiful coastlines and islands in the world. 11/10, can't recommend highly enough.

    What a great experience with this sailing school. I recommend anyone wanting to learn to sail to come to Sardenga and learn with Sailwiz. I learnt so much in the 5 days doing the day skipper and I'm already planning my next trip back.

    An incredible week in Sardinia. The scenery didn’t disappoint but the best of all was the sailing instructed and guided by William! A truly passionate and professional sailor, and also the kindest and one of the most knowledgeable persons about life at sea I’ve met. His way of instructing, and being a host on the boat,
