Catamaran sailing for beginners and advanced
Cast off and set sail! If you trust yourself, attach yourself to the trapeze and be swept along with the waves. Sailing on catamarans is one of the most beautiful watersports experiences there is. The light boats with the two hulls are sporty and even move quickly when there is not much wind thanks to their large sails — a fascinating sailing experience for beginners and professionals.
On our fully equipped catamaran you will learn to tack, jibe and to observe the right of way. And if you already have a catamaran certificate, simply present it at the watersports station and you can hire a catamaran for free.
Gennaker sailing and the ROBINSON Catamaran Weeks
Gennaker sailing is a particular challenge where you have to hold your boat steady on broad reach or beam reach. Sailing with a gennaker, which originated in regatta sport, will completely intoxicate you. You can book courses (additional charge) at ROBINSON CLUBS APULIA, ÇAMYUVA, DAIDALOS, ESQUINZO PLAYA, JANDIA PLAYA, SARIGERME PARK and SOMA BAY.
