Description

Experience the sea from the inside, aboard a 30-foot sailboat with a tiller, sailing through the bay of Marbella powered solely by the wind. This is not a typical boat trip: you're not coming as a passenger; you're coming to be part of the crew. From the very start, you can actively participate in handling the boat. You'll hold the tiller in your own hands and immediately notice the response of the rudder, the effect of the wind and the sea, and that real connection between the boat and the person steering it. It's a purer, more sensitive way of sailing that's closer to traditional sailing, very different from that of a modern sailboat with a wheel and electronics. Throughout the trip, you'll participate in sail trimming and adjustment, basic sailing maneuvers, and teamwork on board, always tailored to your level and the pace the group prefers. Whether you've never sailed before or you already have experience, you'll learn how to read the wind, feel the boat, and anticipate each maneuver. You choose the duration of your experience: 2, 3 or 4 hours sailing in the bay of Marbella, departing from the cruise port of La Bajadilla. The group is small, up to 5 people, so the experience is always intimate and personalized, never a crowded outing. You will be accompanied by a skipper with more than 30,000 miles sailed in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, who will teach you a real, safe, and authentic way of sailing. More than a cruise tour, this is a genuine introduction to the sailor's craft, in calm, in silence, and with the wind as the only engine.
