Learn How To Sail a
Traditional Wooden Gulet

very first sailing holiday, or you may be a professional skipper. Our captain is an excellent instructor and if
you want to learn more about sailing a gulet, or have a go at the wheel of an indigenous schooner rigged wooden
yacht, this is the place. Or perhaps you wish to learn how to moor stern to, Mediterranean style. Our crew will
be delighted to show you, and you may be as `hands-on`as you wish knowing that you’ll still be well fed and watered.
