Sail away
‍
Combine your sailing course with a sailing Expedition. Sail away and explore new harbours, cities and bays. Find out the adventurous side of sailing and train with a different sailing ground each day.
You can also participate just to get some miles or as a course refresher.

Sail, sail, sail... what else?
‍
Dont expect to motor 20 hours during our expeditions.
Below decks expect your own single bunk. For lunch we will have light but healthy foods, made as much as possible from natural non-processed items. For dinner, nice and warm meals. We like to buy local, sustainable products, whenever we can. Sometimes we fish underway, sometimes we don’t.  
‍
Aboard we will have to organize shifts for night watches and other tasks, so routines are flexible and you can individually define your schedule for breakfasts or other snacks. Lunch and dinner, however, are meant to be shared as they are part of our jobs as a team. So every day we will have a different chef onboard (chosen from the crew) and gather to enjoy it. Also ashore we will explore together and try local food in restaurants off the beaten track.
