Navigation Practice Modalities
If you choose our school to carry out your sailing qualification practices, you can choose between any of the two modalities that we put at your disposal:
Group practices
You will share sailing practices on a sailboat with a maximum of 5 other students.
Private Practices
If you choose this option, you will be able to enjoy the sailboat and the skipper exclusively for yourself, which will allow you to do all the exercises yourself, without sharing time and resources with other students.

recommendations
If you are looking for a nautical school in which to carry out sailing qualification practices, we recommend that you take into account the following tips:
- Check that it is an approved school, such as Anclademia, which can issue the qualification certificate once you complete the internship.
- Check which boats you will do the internship on. At Anclademia we put at your disposal two Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 44i boats, the Maggie May, from 2010, with 4 cabins and 2 bathrooms, and the Catharina Maria, from 2013, with 3 cabins and 2 bathrooms.
- Demand that the complete program be completed and avoid “schools” that offer you the certificate without completing the corresponding internships.
Frequent questions
Although we offer sailing qualification practices throughout the year, the best period to do them is outside the summer season, since sea and wind conditions are usually more conducive to sailing.
To obtain the sailing qualification certificate, you must complete 16 hours of practice on a sailboat, usually on a weekend, distributed over 8 hours on Saturday and 8 hours on Sunday, although we can evaluate other options, depending on your availability.
If you prefer, you can choose the course Sailing Qualification + Balearic Islands, which is carried out in a sailing regime and during which you will also practice night navigation, obtaining the powers to govern a boat between the Peninsula and the Islands.
Once you have the sailing privileges, you can do one of our training courses to improve your navigation technique and achieve greater ease at sea.
During the sailing qualification practices you will learn to prepare and set up the sails, wind directions, how to optimize tacking and jibing maneuvers, sail trimming, man overboard and anchoring maneuvers, how to reef the sails, rules of passage, knots and coastal navigation, among other concepts.
