For the curious

Learn how to sail.

The rope hums. The sail snaps full. The boat leans, and suddenly the wind is something you can read. From your very first minute at the helm, you don't just watch — you sail.

A hands-on day

Take the helm. Learn the basics. Become part of the crew.

With Alexandre, a certified Yacht Master, you go from your first minute at the wheel to the day you steer the ship yourself — guided every step of the way.

Points of sail, reading the wind, steering, trimming the sails, even a little navigation. This isn't a script. It's a real day at sea with a real teacher.
