Inspire your next adventure
A Solaris “signature” course. The two-day Start Yachting course is a great introduction to sailing for complete beginners. We have the location, facilities, boats and instructors to give you the best introduction to what we love to do most. This is about getting the vibe; feeling the power of a sailing yacht and experiencing the connection with nature. It’s about a light lunch in an unspoilt bay and a refreshing swim in crystal clear waters. It’s about returning to Port Andratx with an incredible sunset after a day of fun, laughter and lasting memories.
Start yachting & learn the ropes
On the Start Yachting course, you will have lots of fun learning the basics of boat handling, experience steering a yacht, sail handling, rope-work and be taught safety on board. During your two days on one of our excellent sailing yachts there will also be plenty of time to relax in the sunshine & appreciate the stunning scenery. To complete your first sailing experience you also have the option of one night sleeping onboard. The Start Yachting Certificate is awarded on completion of the course. This can be used to go on to complete the Competence Crew course in a reduced time of three days or two weekends.
