much more fun!

day.

Pre-Flotilla
Training:
Often
couples, families or groups where at least one person has
some previous experience, spend the first week of their
holiday aboard a training yacht before taking their own
flotilla boat in the second week.
This
has proved an excellent way to learn as everyone benefits
from the training and their skills are fresh ready to enjoy
the thrill of taking charge of their own flotilla boat.
The first week can be either a certificated course or just
a skills brush-up.
All
training courses are run from our base on the Bodrum peninsular. |
