Four days, a real yacht and the whole Stockholm archipelago as your classroom. You live on board, cook together and learn to sail for real.
We sail from Viggbyholm out into the stunning Stockholm archipelago on board Operah, our Beneteau 50. Four intensive days with an experienced instructor on board give you practical experience that really sticks – not just theory in a classroom.
The course suits you if you want to learn to sail a large yacht from scratch, are planning to charter or buy your own boat, or simply want to combine training with an active archipelago experience.
How it works: The course runs Thursday–Sunday, starting at 09:00 on Thursday. Some courses run for six days, Tuesday–Sunday. You sleep on board in a double berth throughout the course. See available dates and book below.
