The 2026 course calendar is now online!

We are pleased to announce that our 2026 training calendar is now available, offering a wide and diverse range of nautical courses designed for all levels and goals.

Training areas include:

• Sailing (beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels)
• Powerboat / Motor
• First Aid
• VHF Radio Communications
• Courses and holiday camps for young people, with a strong focus on water sports and sailing in particular

Special highlight: Expedition-style courses
The 2026 season starts in an exciting way, with a 5-day sailing expedition to Mazagón (Spain), beginning in the last week of April. These expedition courses combine intensive training with real-life navigation, adventure, and hands-on experience at sea.

Recognised certifications
Our certifications are valid in Portugal, and you may apply for equivalency to the Portuguese licenses — Local Skipper (Patrão Local) or Coastal Skipper (Patrão de Costa) — depending on your level of training.

Algarve Cruising Center
