After all, there is nothing more freeing than sailing through the water, the wind in your hair, and the horizon in the distance. This accessible sailing experience will take place both ashore and at sea. The introduction to sailing includes theoretical and practical classes. Firstly, you will practice the technique in the harbor on the boat. Secondly, when you are ready, you take the boat out to sea and practice your newfound skills and knowledge.

The introduction to sailing will take place in the port of Palma and will last approximately 2 hours.
