West Coast offers you the perfect choice to keep sailing - the possibility to get a flexible outings booklet that you can use whenever you want to.Especially designed for those who have already some experience or have done at least the RYA Start Sailing, the flexible outings allow you to improve your skills or knowledge and keep on sailing without a stric sailing course schedule.
The 8 classes pack allows you to do 8 outings of 4 hours, valid for one year. You just have to give us a call to set the date whenever you wish to sail again!
For the more experienced groups, and as long as there is a valid boating license on board, it’s possible to go out without an instructor on board - a great way to gain autonomy and confidence to sail alone.
Programe
Each outing has a theme that depends on the characteristics of the group and the conditions of the day. Bookings must be made at least 48 hours in advance. The purchase of the pack with separate departures does not constitute a guarantee of booking on a specific date/time, so the availability reservation must be made as far in advance as possible.
After booking, changing dates with the right to credit for another activity can only be done with at least 96 hours' notice. In case of no-show or cancellation (no-show) or cancellation within 96 hours prior to the activity, the full amount will be charged. Departure dates may be changed for reasons of force majeure (including bad weather conditions or unforeseen damage to the vessel) with the right to replacement.
Prerequisites
Previous sailing experience (at least having made a start sailing course); Know how to swim; Physical Mobility; Over 14 years old and for minors always accompanied by an adult.

Oeiras Yachting Harbor offers access to an outstanding water plan. 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.
