There is nothing in the world that packs as many life lessons in a single activity as sailing. It teaches teamwork, engineering, patience, oceanography, ecology, geography, meteorology, maths and many others. Because of this, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to learn to sail.
Broaden your horizons
Sailing is an excellent opportunity to meet new extraordinary people. Interesting personalities from the sailing community and you are bound to meet wonderful sailors no matter where you go. Learning new sailing skills and sharing your experiences with other travellers will open your mind.
Feel the freedom
Once you are in front of the sea, you get to see things from a totally different perspective. Getting rid of stress, noise, and surrendering to nature will bring joy to your body and soul in a way you have not experienced before. When you are sailing, you have a sense of freedom that does not exist on land, as you can always go on and see what lies on the other side of the unknown horizon, starting to feel a deep and strong connection to nature and the world itself.
Connect with nature
On the water you will get both mental and physical workout. The sea provides lots of emotional and psychological benefits while the pace of life changes, teaching you to embrace its true beauty of it. The feeling of pride and achievement that comes after learning how to sail is unique. You will find yourself outdoors, exposed to the sunshine and the sound of waves, in a beautiful environment while breathing healthy air.

Sailing, Training, Exploring
Sailing requires physical work, teamwork, communication and resilience, both on deck and down below. You will feel the forces of nature and put seamanship training to the test. It is an adventure activity for individuals of all ages.
The experience of being at sea helps people learn about themselves, discover hidden strengths and talents, and understand the value of teamwork. There is no other feeling like crashing through the waves, on a vessel where you are an essential part of the crew.
Sharing passion for the sea
We love to share our passion and knowledge of sailing. So, if you want to learn good seamanship you will be able to get a huge amount of both during the trips. If you are an experienced sailor, we'd love to hear your opinions and learn from each other.
Our sailing interests are around Offshore Cruising & Racing. We usually organize several sailing trips every year in different regions.
