Welcome Adventurers!

If you want to experience something more than simply "getting a lift" to Panama or Colombia, this is the right place for you!


Only here will you become a real Crew Member of a Yacht, not just a passenger.
Only here will you get the knowledge and skills, that others are only dreaming about!

CUSTOMIZE YOUR TRIP and decide how long you want to stay on board! :)

Think of it as a quick sailing school with a  lot of FUN!

       

If you only want…

…You’ll gain basic knowledge of:
-     NAVIGATION – working with charts, finding the boat position and plotting its track. Try both traditional and modern methods!

'

-        BOAT HANDLING – working with sails to get the best performance,  maneuvering, anchoring, use of knots, etc.


-      WATCH KEEPING and SAFETY RULES – everything you need to know while at sea, recognizing other ship’s lights, VHF Radio operation, using safety equipment, rules of the road, etc.



-            WEATHER forecasting and tactics…


But this is not all!

-          You’ll have the opportunity to learn and hone your skills in an Olympic Class Sailing Dinghy – OPTIMIST!


-          If you are a certified diver, you can GO DIVING! It’s included! The boat is equipped with two complete sets of diving equipment! Remember: 
while underwater, take only pictures and good memories, 
leave only bubbles ;)


-          Of course, if you want, you’ll have great snorkelling, 


a fire or BBQ on the beach. You can also camp in a tent on an island, 
or stretch a hammock between two palm trees 


and chill in their shade or sleep under the stars… Meet Kuna Indians and discover their unique culture! And maybe get some original folk crafts for souvenirs…

That’s great!
