Sailing courses for youth – A summer full of wind, water and friendship!


Our sailing courses for children are all about fun, safety and adventure. During our courses, children learn to sail independently, work together and trust themselves. Whichever course you choose, we make sure you have an amazing time on the water! Our enthusiastic, certified instructors teach children from the age of 6. Choose the boat you like best and sign up for that course. Sailing together with your friends is of course also possible. Just let us know what you want, and we’ll take care of the rest!
