Course Overview

This beach is difficult to reach by land which makes the experience even more special.

We meet you on board the yacht at 10.00am, when you will be given a short safety brief before setting sail.  You will be taken out by an experienced RYA instructor, and you will sail down the stunning  coast to Papagayo’s golden beach, where you will drop anchor to enjoy your complementary lunch, sunbathe or swim off the back of the yacht in the crystal clear waters. You will then sail back to Puerto Calero, arriving back late afternoon.  During the passage you will be given a chance to steer the yacht and will become actively involved in crewing, and lookout for dolphins!

This is a great day and most clients who try this are not dissappointed and come back for more.

Included

• Lunch and lifejackets

Price Per Person

The First Mate week will move you from a competent crew member to understanding what is required to make you a confident skipper of a small yacht in familiar waters. 

Many people have done competent crew but have not had the opportunity to develop their skills since then or take charge of a yacht, but would like to do so in a controlled, supervised and relaxed environment before moving on to do Day Skipper. 

At the end of the course you will be given an Endeavour Sailing Certificate to show what you have achieved, and honest feedback of your abilities, where you have developed and areas you will need to focus on before moving onto your day skipper course.

The post Passage Making and Skills Course appeared first on Endeavour Sailing RYA Sailing School Lanzarote.

You will be involved in skippering different passages, the planning and navigation. Night sailing is included, and following the discipline of a watch system, the passages are designed to allow you to build up those important miles and enhance your skills to take you from Day Skipper towards Coastal Skipper, boost your confidence or just extend your cruising experience.

We meet on a Sunday evening at 18.30 when you will be given a safety brief on the boat, in the evening you will eat ashore which is a great time to get to know your other crew members.  On Monday morning all final checks are done and then you set sail.

Our courses cover over 300 miles or 800 miles, and are intensive but immensely rewarding and allows you to experience different sailing conditions.

The final destinations for our mile building weeks are of course weather dependent. If unsuitable then we head to alternative destinations. We always keep you fully informed and give you details a week before departure. 

Course Overview

For our one week milebuilders we will leave Puerto Calero, Lanzarote and travel South around the Northern edge of Fuerteventura and then on past Gran Canaria heading towards Tenerife.  You will spend a well deserved break and rest overnight in Tenerife, and then travel back via Gran Canaria and the South side of Fuerteventura to Puerto Calero Lanzarote covering approximately 300 miles.

The two week milebuilders take us further afield around the Canary Islands, giving plenty of 60 mile passages. 

Both of these options are great ways to achieve your Yachtmaster qualifying passages, with plenty of opportunities for passage planning and pilotage into different ports.

Included

• Accommodation
• All breakfasts/lunches
• Tea and coffee
• Wet weather gear
• Lifejackets
• Towels
• Bedding
• Water & Electricity
• Mooring fees
• 3 evening meals per week

Not included

• Travel Insurance
• Flights
• Meals ashore
• Transfer from airport

Due to the high popularity of our Mile Builder weeks we advise you to reserve your spaces early to avoid disappointment.

For those interested in alternative dates for 2024/25 we also suggest you take a look at our Passage Making and Skills week which is a shorter mile building week circumnavigating the island of Lanzarote with a stop at the neighbouring island of La Graciosa (Passage Making and Skills week).  The dates below are confirmed milebuilders, but if you wish alternative dates please contact me and I will see what we can arrange for you.
