What´s included?

All of our sailing courses take place on our Bavaria 46 Cruiser Sailing Yacht called “Millie”. She is located in Marina Naviera in the centre of Palmas main paseo maritimo. To see photos of our boat in action please take a look at our facebook page as there are regular course updates on there:  https://www.facebook.com/palmaseaschool, and also follow this link for a video of the course: Competent Crew / Day Skipper Sailing Course Video

Students sleep on board during the course. The boat has 4 double cabins, and a saloon berth. All cabins have fans but the boat is not air conditioned. We provide bedding and towels. The course costs from 995€ – 1395€pp depending on whether you choose to have your own cabin, share a cabin or select the saloon berth. If you choose to share a cabin it is important to note that although they fit 2 people, it is one bed not twin/single beds

During your course, we supply essential provisions for breakfast, lunch, two evening meals, and refreshments (tea, coffee, and water). Breakfast and lunch usually include simple items such as bread, cereal, and sandwich ingredients, while dinner typically features pasta dishes. Please be aware that snacks and personal preferences beyond these basics are not provided, so we recommend budgeting for any additional items you may require.

Stays at the home marina and at anchor are included. If students wish to stay overnight in another marina or at a mooring buoy, the cost is shared among the crew.

If you are a group you can book the entire boat privately just for yourselves. Up to 5 students per course. Please enquire for more information.
