This experience, in a nutshell

The Coastal and Offshore Navigation Course is designed for those who wish to gain a first experience or choose to deepen their knowledge and practically face navigation with the procedures for the organization of the cruise, the reading of nautical charts, weather reports, the fundamentals of charting, the tasks of the crew members, night navigation and last but not least the kitchen on board.

 The fun of this sport or recreational specialty lies in always learning, from every outing at sea even after years and years of experience, the discovery of new emotions and teachings.

Humility is the first tool with which one must face the sea.

Sailing is not a badge, but a philosophy and a culture.


CRUISE – HYERES SCHOOL - PORQUEROLLES

The Iles d'Hyères (also known as Iles d'Or or Porquerolles Islands), an oasis of tranquility and beauty, where nature is also preserved thanks to strict regulations, including the prohibition of camping and smoking.

Eight kilometers long by two and a half kilometers wide, a petanque field in the village square, a few small bars serving local wine and pastis. White sandy beaches, crystal clear sea, the scent of pines, lavender and eucalyptus, 70 kilometres of trails to discover on foot or by bike.


A week suitable for everyone, the more experienced will be able to practice sailing and navigation, to learn how to sail safely with a captain with professional qualifications and a sailing instructor


Below you will find the general program according to weather and sea conditions for the week.

A week at sea can be a holiday, an adventure or a learning opportunity: with Carlo it was all this together. Thanks to his experience and his ability to teach calmly and clearly, we were able to really challenge ourselves: from the helm to maneuvers in different sailing conditions. Every situation has become a moment of growth, always managed by Carlo with professionalism, availability and the serenity of someone who knows the sea and knows how to convey safety. An opportunity that we recommend to those who want to approach boating or perfect their skills, finding in Carlo an authoritative and at the same time welcoming point of reference with everyone.

Wonderful boat holiday: comfortable boat with attention to every detail. Carlo was an exceptional instructor, patient and prepared, capable of transmitting confidence and passion for sailing. An unforgettable experience that I recommend to anyone who wants to experience the sea in an authentic, safe and enriching way.

I participated in a one-week course with Carlo from [hidden] to the Lérins Islands. The route itself is not among the most exciting in the Mediterranean, but the real difference was made by him: a patient, prepared skipper and above all very good at teaching. Carlo really leaves room for the crew to steer the boat and try the maneuvers, intervening only to correct with precision and kindness. This approach makes the course extremely formative. Its calm and clarity allow you to learn a lot in a short time. Carlo manages to convey not only the techniques of sailing, but also the pleasure of sailing and the confidence of doing it with awareness. A true master, capable of making every day on board a step forward in his sailing experience. Highly recommended for those who want to really improve in sailing, acquiring concrete practice and confidence in their abilities.
