Sailing baptisms are the ideal option for those who wish to feel the thrill of sailing on an amazing sailing boat.
For those who want to take a beginners course, it’s also an excellent way to try our boats, get to know our instructors team and have a first contact with sailing without great costs or commitment time.

It offers modern infrastructure with restaurants, shops, showers, parking and boatyard all in a stunning location between Lisbon and Cascais.Around the marina, you will find several high quality beaches, and ocean swimming-pool and a cycle path by the water.
Its strategic location at the mouth of the river Tagus allows you to experience the Atlantic or otherwise look for the more protected and tidal waters of the river.
It's proximity to Cascais and Lisbon (about 6nm each) as well as the quick exit towards the south for destinations like Sesimbra are also a solid advantage.
