Full description
Discover a new and fascinating discipline by taking part in our sailing course in Marina di Campo on theIsland of Elba.
The course lasts a total of 5 hours and is divided into two half-days. It includes a theoretical part at the beautiful white beach of Marina di Campo, and a practical part in which you will discover the beauty of sailing on the sea thanks to the strength of the wind alone.
Don't wait any longer: learn the secrets of sailing from federal instructors and have fun together with new friends in one of Elba's most beautiful locations.
What we will do
The appointment is at the time selected when booking at the beach in Marina di Campo (LI). Here I will be there to welcome you, a federal sailing instructor.
We will sail together on board a small sailing boat called a drift. Thanks to its manoeuvrability, it is considered ideal as a first approach to the world of sailing. The course includes a theoretical part and a practical part at sea.
The theory part will take place on the beautiful white beach of Marina di Campo in the south of the island. Here you will learn the nomenclature, wind directions and knots of seafaring tradition.
With the practical part, on the other hand, you will get a true taste of the sport of sailing, sailing in the beautiful gulf of Marina di Campo, between the beaches of Galenzana and Fonza. While sailing, we will learn what it means to rig and disarm a dinghy, the basics of sailing it, and basic manoeuvres.
The course consists of 2 lessons, each lasting 2 ½ hours, starting and ending in Marina di Campo.
Who it is aimed at
The activity is aimed at everyone from the age of 12.
