Algarve Cruising Center

First International Yacht Training School in Portugal

We love to sail and want to share that passion with you! We offer practical courses because we believe that safe recreational boating education should take place at sea, with plenty of hands-on experience and in small groups. Our school is strategically located in Faro and Olhão, in the heart of the Ria Formosa.
