How, where and how long does it take to learn to sail?
The knowledge acquired in the Spanish nautical qualification courses is imminently theoretical and is not at all sufficient to skipper a pleasure boat. Especially when it comes to sailing.
The MRCY Baiona school in collaboration with Julio Verne Náutica offers you a week long navigation course in Croatia were we will mix training, tourism and adventure.
Croatia, “the Mediterranean how it used to be”
Sailing in Croatia is a unique experience that one should have the pleasure to discover at least once in the lifetime. The Adriatic Sea bathes the coasts from Croatia. Moderate winds, warm temperatures, turquoise waters, thousands of protected moorings and ports with a millennial charm, immaculately preserved, will make our navigation a true pleasure.
The other great attraction of this region is nature. The Croatian coast and its islands are among the most sinuous in the world, and it is one of the best ecologically preserved areas in Europe. A treasure of natural riches with 4,300 plant species and a similar number of animal species.
