Basic Sailing Licence<\/h1>[vc_column_text el_class=”hr-1″]The Basic Sailing Licence (Licencia de Navegaci\u00f3n) is the first, easiest and fastest sailing qualification you can get. It requires a six-hour course on one of our sailing school boats where we teach you what you should and shouldn\u2019t do at sea. There is no exam. We take you sailing for four hours and explain the theory in two hours. The basic sailing licence entitles you to sail by day within 2 miles of the coast, on boats of 6 metres or less. You will also be entitled to drive all jet-skis.
\nYou\u2019re only six hours away from being qualified to sail. Six short hours of fun practical training and basic theory aboard a yacht.

Safety and navigation, sailing and radio practice will be done during the course.<\/p>\n
