Escape the crowded sailing schools.
A dedicated luxury yacht and a private instructor entirely for you.
Private Skipper Training (7 Days)
Why Choose Private Training?
100% Personalized
No waiting for others. Whether you are a total beginner or want to perfect your docking skills, the curriculum adapts entirely to your pace and goals.
Privacy & Comfort
Forget crowded sailing schools with strangers. Enjoy the privacy of a high-standard yacht solely for you and your guests.
Holiday & Learning
It is not just a course; it is a vacation. Combine intensive morning training with relaxing afternoons in hidden bays. Bring your partner or family along.
The Perfect Balance: Learning & Leisure
Morning: Hands-on Training
Start your day with immersive, action-oriented training designed specifically for your goals. In a private setting, we don't just "drill" the essentials;
we practice them in real-world scenarios until they feel second nature to you.
We focus heavily on critical, practical skills: executing precision docking maneuvers without stress, dynamic sail trimming for various wind conditions, essential maritime knots, and comprehensive safety protocols. Because you have the instructor's undivided attention, every movement is observed and immediately corrected. This instant feedback loop allows you to compress weeks of typical group instruction into a single, focused session, rapidly building both competence and confidence at the helm.
Afternoon: Exploration & Relax
After a rewarding morning of focused training, shift gears into pure relaxation mode. We will navigate away from the open sea to secluded, crystal-clear bays, dropping anchor in absolute paradise.
The afternoon is entirely yours to design; the boat transforms from a classroom into your private floating sanctuary. Dive straight into the turquoise waters for a refreshing swim, grab a snorkel to explore the marine life, or take a paddleboard to discover hidden inlets along the coastline. Alternatively, simply claim a spot on the sun deck and disconnect completely, soaking up the Mediterranean sun. Because we sail to a stunning new destination each day, this isn't just a course—it’s the perfect fusion of serious skill-building and an unforgettable luxury holiday.
Your Path to Independence at Sea
Our primary mission is to transform your relationship with sailing in just one week. We don't just aim to teach you the basics; our goal is to fully empower you to take command, operating a vessel independently, confidently, and above all, safely.
We go far beyond standard textbook navigation drills. This course is designed to prepare you for reality. You will develop the crucial ability to think critically on your feet, learning practical troubleshooting techniques for onboard systems and acquiring the skills to solve the dynamic, real-world problems you may actually encounter at sea. By day seven, you won't just know how to sail; you will be ready to skipper.
Note on Licensing: The official certification exam is entirely optional. It is conducted on the final day of the course for those who wish to obtain the license.
