Master Catamaran Sailing

This training is for monohull skippers ready to move into the world of multihulls. A catamaran behaves differently – wider beam, twin helms, no heeling. This course helps you understand those differences and handle the vessel with total composure in real conditions.

Wind Awareness

Multihull Handling

Steady Control

Tight Maneuvers

What You`ll Learn

Training Area

The Saronic Gulf is our arena, a landscape of semi-enclosed bays with predictable conditions, ideal for intensive training. Expect multiple docking scenarios, varied anchorages under different wind exposures, and traditional quays, creating the ideal "classrooms" for high-stakes maneuvering.

The Boat

A stable platform for focused learning

Our training is conducted on modern 41–44ft catamarans, the industry standard for charter fleets. ou'll share a comfortable double cabin with a private bathroom and enjoy bright, spacious communal areas. Most importantly, the wide, stable deck becomes your primary classroom. It offers a safe, uncluttered environment essential for focused drills and hands-on skill development from the very first day. The catamarans we typically use for this course include the Bali 4.1Lagoon 42, Fontaine Pajot FP41, Fontaine Pajot FP44.

The Food

Fresh Food Onboard, Local Flavors Ashore

A chef joins the trip so you can focus on learning, not on preparing meals. Before you sail, we'll ask about food preferences and dietary needs – everything gets planned ahead. The chef handles shopping and cooking, preparing fresh breakfast and lunch on board each day, leaving you more time and energy for training.

Evenings, we'll dine ashore at authentic, hand-picked tavernas. Over good food, we'll talk about the day, debrief maneuvers, and share stories – turning dinner into a natural extension of your learning.
