No sailing experience?
No problem.
Our Zero to Hero course is designed for people who want to go beyond a unique sailing experience and learn how to sail and skipper a yacht.
You will live aboard our 43-foot sailing yacht, learn the theory you need, and spend your days putting that knowledge into practice around the islands of Palawan.
Fastrack to IYT International Bareboat Skipper Certificate. Duration: 2 sessions of 5 days/4 nights onboard separate with 2 days/3 nights off onshore.
Maximum 2 students - Private cabin - 2700 euros per person
Zero to Hero takes you from the fundamentals of sailing to the skills required to skipper a cruising yacht.
As your confidence grows, so does your responsibility on board.
You will practise manoeuvring, navigation, sail trim, anchoring and decision-making in real sailing conditions.
The goal is not simply to pass a test.
The goal is to understand what you are doing and become a confident sailor.
You won't be one of eight people sharing the helm.
With a maximum of two students, you get much more time to practise and much more individual attention.
You learn what cruising is really like.
Cooking, sleeping, navigating, anchoring, sailing and looking after a yacht are all part of life on board.
You don't learn everything by sailing around the same bay.
You will travel between islands and build experience over real passages.
Theory matters.
But sailing is a practical skill.
That's why we put you on the helm and let you learn through experience.
This course is for you if:
You don't need to arrive knowing how to sail.
