Skipper Training

How would you like to have the necessary skills to skipper your own boat or a rented one while you're on your holiday?

Do you want to learn the basics of navigation, test your theoretical boat knowledge with practical, operational skills?
Do you want to master unexpected situations, under different weather conditions?
Perhaps you have a lot of passion for sailing but maybe your experience level is a little underdeveloped?

The purpose of this "Skipper training" program is a boat navigation training program within a condensed timeframe. The practical lessons will enable you to grasp the basics of boat navigation, the captain’s main obligations, responsibilities and what kind of knowledge is required.

We will get you familiar with different parts of the vessel, maneuvering, sailing in and sailing out of the harbor, use of the anchor, handling the instruments, terestric navigational theory, how to read nautical maps, and navigation basics during day or night.
We will also review the most important and necessary information of the current maritime laws, meteorology, working with ropes and fenders, motor science, safety on the boat, and what to do when there is a man overboard.
These and many other issues related to handling of the vessel are important when you wish to return the rented vessel back to the charter company in its proper condition.
Our courses are adapted according to your level of knowledge, the number of the participants and the amount of time you have to learn. We realize that you are on your vacation, so we will work within your timeframe.
We choose to hold our courses directly on the charter boats, allowing you to become thoroughly familiar with the craft. We organize these lessons year round for your convenience.
Prices are quoted on request, based on the specific wishes of our clients, including: vessel length &number of participants.
