Amazing 10 days. Three islands Isola d Elva Corsica and Sardinia. Fulvio and Edoardo are sailing instructors. Safety and knowledge are on board. Fun and kindness also. Highly recommended. They even managed for perfect weather and good wind.

3 days in Croatia from Marina di Ravenna to Zadar

5 stelle tutte meritate! Emilio è una persona fantastica, un uomo d'altri tempi. Davvero affabile, affidabile e soprattutto competente. In barca è sempre disponibile e pronto a mettere a proprio agio tutto l'equipaggio rendendolo anche partecipe con le varie manovre, e se si è interessati, anche con piccole lezioni di vela. Nel mio caso abbiamo fatto la traversata da Marina di Ravenna fino a Sukosan e poi siamo scesi fino a Zara. Tutto filato per il meglio! Anche con gli altri partecipanti si è subito riusciti a creare un bel gruppo, sempre affiatato e unito fino all'ultimo giorno. La barca è molto pulita e spaziosa (poi è chiaro che sta a i membri dell'equipaggio organizzarsi affinché rimanga tale), nel nostro caso siamo riusciti tutti a partecipare alle pulizie in maniera organizzata e continuativa. Che dire, un viaggio indimenticabile che consiglierei a chiunque. Personalmente è stata anche la mia prima "vera" esperienza in barca a vela, e grazie ad Emilio non sarà nemmeno l'ultima!!

Nous avons été absolument ravis du week-end croisière. Marine a montré tellement de professionnalisme, bienveillance et connaissance de la voile. Elle a su affronter chaque situation avec la plus grande maîtrise tout en nous transmettant sa grande passion .. le tout avec humour et sympathie ! Un grand merci et BRAVO à elle de nous avoir appris tant de choses en si peu de temps !! Nous reviendrons avec plaisir et espérons revoir Marine lors d’une prochaine croisière ou stage de journée.

Tips to help you to better plan for your next sailing course or regatta holiday:

All you need to know about your next sailing cruise.

Learning to sail: how much does it cost?

You can find sailing courses from €150 on weekends and €400 on weekdays. This amount then varies according to several parameters such as the destination, style of the boat and proposed itinerary. Like with any other such experience, the cost of transport to and from the sailing trip, the participation in the ship's cash float (often around €150 per week), as well as the extras during your cruise, such as meals out.

The best destinations for an adult sailing course

Each destination is different and therefore so too are the possibilities. For a weekend sailing course, there is availability in more northern European destinations such as France - including Brittany, the French Riviera, the Atlantic coast. Across the Mediterranean, several areas are particularly well suited for a one-week sailing course: Croatia, the Greek Cyclades, the Balearic Islands, Corsica and Sardinia. For those who wish to combine learning to sail with the sun of the tropics, fly to the Caribbean Sea and sail in the paradise islands of the Grenadines or Guadeloupe.

I am a beginner - I am a pro. Is there an experience for me?

If you have never sailed before and would like to discover this new feeling, we recommend that you head for a discovery trip where you can learn how to steer, hoist, and handle the sails. For those who wish to improve their knowledge - including cartography, meteorology, night navigation, spinnaker, radios - recommend that you go on more technical and longer sailing courses (1 week or more) that will allow you to fully immerse yourself in the manoeuvres and life on board. For the more adventurous, cross the Channel, the Atlantic or the Mediterranean!

Sailing internship: Finally make your dream of learning to sail come true

There are dreams that can now be easily realised - learning to sail is part of it! No special knowledge is required to start sailing with a professional skipper who will gradually transmit his passion and advice to you during sailing courses corresponding to your level. Get ready to share unique experiences with other crew members and enjoy the friendliness of living on board a sailboat.
