Nautical certification courses

Until now, you’ve enjoyed sailing without the need for a license, but changes in regulations mean that all sea enthusiasts must now get trained and obtain the appropriate certification to continue sailing legally. At the CNE Nautical School, we make it easy for you to get started or advance in the world of recreational and professional sailing. Club Nàutic Estartit, in collaboration with the Baix Empordà Nautical School, offers official, certified courses for a wide variety of nautical licenses and skill levels.
All courses take place in l’Estartit, at the Club’s Activity Center, right in the heart of the Costa Brava and facing the Medes Islands—an ideal setting for hands-on training and learning.
