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.

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

As part of your course, you’ll be responsible for menu planning and shopping for the week. We provide funding to cover essential meals, which includes breakfast, lunch, three evening meals, and basic refreshments (tea, coffee, and water). Breakfast and lunch will generally consist of simple items like bread, cereal, and sandwich ingredients, while evening meals usually include pasta-based dishes. Please note that the funding is intended to cover only the basics. Snacks, treats, or personal food preferences are not included, so we recommend bringing a small budget for any extras you may want.

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.
