During the whole course, you will sleep, eat, and live on the boat, gaining experience not just with sailing, but with managing life on the water.



What an amazing place to learn how to sail, with its stunning coastline, crystal-clear waters, and hundreds of islands to explore. We will use the friendly Amihan Northeast Monsoon to practice all the sail lessons and we will travel in some fantastic Philippines remote spots all along the course itinerary.
We know that immersing yourself in sailing can firstly be intimidating sometimes. That's why we teach sailing in a way that is approachable, encouraging and supportive. By making complex sailing concepts easy to understand, this course will teach you all the knowledge you need to handle a sailboat by your own, smoothly. Once you get the basics, it's all about practice and getting a feel for how the boat moves with the wind. Just basic fun !
At Slide Sail in Asia, we're convinced that sailing can only come with a sustainable behavior. That's why our yacht is designed to minimize its environmental impact by maximizing efficiency : wind power, solar energy, water management, low plastic waste, etc... Living this course you will also learn a lot about all this features.
