Full description

Seawolves, reporting for duty!

If the sea is your passion, it's time to hoist (your) sails and head for Marina di Carrara, where a one-night-and-a-day immersive experience awaits you to approach the world of sailing in the company of a CONI instructor.

An adventure that combines learning, relaxation and life on board and will give you the opportunity to sail in dream locations such as the Gulf of Poets or the Cetacean Route!

What we will do

The rendezvous is at18:30 at the meeting point in Marina di Carrara (MS), where we will find the captain ready to welcome us on board the sailboat.

After the assignment of our cabin and a general briefing on the use of the boat, we will be able to spend the evening as we prefer, going ashore for a free dinner and returning on board to sleep moored at the marina.

The following morning, we can wake up calmly and have breakfast at the Nautical Club bar or in one of the delicious pastry shops in the centre of Marina di Carrara to be ready to set sail around 10:00 am.

Theitinerary will be chosen together with the skipper, who is also a CONI sailing instructor, according to weather conditions and our preferences. We will either sail towards the Gulf of Poets, staying closer to the coast, or alternatively, along the Cetacean Route in search of dolphins.

We will embark on a sail during which the instructor will explain the basics of sailing: knots, winds, manoeuvres and sails will be the topics of the day!

Towards lunchtime we will stop at the roadstead and finally enjoy a refreshing dip, taking the opportunity to do some snorkelling. During the stop, we will also have plenty of time to enjoy our packed lunch (alternatively, an on-board lunch can be arranged by prior arrangement with the captain).

After about a 2-hour stopover, we will cast off our moorings and embark on the return sail, having the chance to try out the different gaits and experience being captain for a day!

We will finally return to the meeting point between approximately 17:00 and 18:00.
