What is a Catamaran?
The ideal support for those who really want to get started in sailing, quickly and effectively. These boats are not only exceptionally stable but also capable of reaching high speeds with little effort. It fits in light sailing for adults and children from 50 kg and is the ideal support for anyone who wants to acquire the basics of sailing, as well as build their independence in the water. Escola de Vela da Lagoa provides its students with a direct and safe introduction to sailing, using the Óbidos lagoon as a training ground. Learning how to sail can often seem like a long and exhausting process, uninviting for beginners, but it shouldn't happen that way, it can perfectly take place in a relaxed and hands-on atmosphere.
At Escola de Vela da Lagoa, we are proud to work in the vast majority in the initiation and exploratory development of sailing. With us you will find qualified instructors and all the ideal conditions to be able to introduce yourself to sailing. Normally, after a few guided sessions, you will be able to fairly independent (in a controled invornment, such as the lagoon), and you may just start taking advantage of our rental system.
Already an experienced sailor? Then take the opportunity to rent one of our catamarans starting at €25*.
