The cabins are comfortable, and the smaller group size ensures you receive plenty of attention from the instructors. ### Can I join the course if I have no sailing experience? Yes, this course is designed for beginners. No prior sailing experience is required, and the instructors will guide you through the basics of sailing, boat handling, safety procedures, and more. By the end of the course, you will have gained the skills necessary to sail confidently. ### What is the daily schedule like? Each day, you’ll start with a briefing on the day’s activities, followed by practical sailing sessions. You will learn how to prepare the boat, trim sails, handle the boat in the marina, and more.

The course focuses on practical experience, so you’ll be sailing most of the day, including trips to nearby ports and coastal areas. ### Can I take the course over two weekends instead of five consecutive days?
