Brief description of the holiday

This trip is for men and women with tough sails, or those who would like to become one. Almost 635 nautical miles have to be overcome. A couple of night trips are built into the program. Mooring is only for lunch or dinner or possible refueling and shopping. You go to your limit with a professional skipper.

But the fun factor should be maintained and your sailing experience should be expanded. Itinerary: Madeira - Gibraltar.

A rental car will be waiting for you in Gibraltar on Saturday. This will take you to Malaga airport. Flights from there are cheaper.
At the end of the trip you will receive a nautical miles confirmation by email.

Your skipper: Jos W. or Alexander K. . The skipper shares a cabin with a guest.

Reviews of Jos

9 / 10

We had a very nice and educational week on the catamaran with Jos. Immediately after arrival we started - first with turns, then reverse and steer and finally dock. In the one week we visited Milna, Vis and the beautiful town of Hvar, anchored in great bays with crystal clear water and learned all sorts of sailing maneuvers in between. Jos is very competent and brings the necessary peace and quiet that you can do a lot on your own. We were on the catamaran with our 5 year old son and had a page completely to ourselves. But even in one of the spacious cabins, that wouldn't be a problem. The Lagoon 42 is modern, has plenty of space and each cabin has its own toilet/shower. We felt very comfortable and can highly recommend Jos. After the week of training, we have the confidence to be able to charter a catamaran ourselves in the future.

The week training is very useful. Jos is a quite relaxed teacher that lets you sail and manouver the boat most of the time. The organization of the holiday and training is not perfectly clear, but that lets space for the crew to decide part of it.

Other important information

Forward, both bow cabins have an extra sleeping place in the bow tip. The 2 extra bow tip cabins are 2.05m long and almost 1m wide at the head end. It is possible to reserve these bow cabins. The catamaran 42 easily accommodates 10 people, i.e. 2 people more.
