Enjoy and gain experience

Once you receive your first license, you’ll have the freedom to sail independently. For those not aiming to pursue a professional captaincy, this is the ultimate milestone that lets you fulfill all your travel dreams and ambitions. Enjoy the experience and pleasure of sailing!

Advance your level if needed

If you wish to advance further, become an instructor, or pursue a professional captaincy, you can continue to earn various certifications that validate your qualifications, including commercial licenses.

Try Sailing Experience

You arrive in comfortable sportswear and step aboard a compact 12-meter sailing yacht departing from one of Limassol’s marinas. Over ~3.5 hours, under the guidance of a professional instructor, you’ll try all key roles—handling sails, steering, and even taking the skipper’s position.
This is a true hands-on experience designed to help you understand if sailing is for you. The session costs just €120 or €590 for crew up to 6 person, and if you decide to continue with a skipper course, this amount will be fully deducted from the course fee.
