Established in 1989 in the Sotogrande´s impressive Marina, The Sailing School (Escuela de Vela), is one of the best in the area.
Having grown and improved every year, this prestigious school belongs to the Royal Yacht Club, Sotogrande and The Spanish Sailing Federation.
We took four children for sailing lessons, and the tuition was excellent. Sotogrande is fast becoming a fun marina, and you can easily spend the day there with plenty of activities for the whole family.
All of the teachers at the sailing school are fully federation qualified, and hold certificates of safety and competence. Lessons are available to children and adults, and there are boats to suit all ages and abilities including catamarans, monohulls, laser dinghies, open keel sailing boats and sea-going canoes.
The marina area has lots of cafés, bars and restaurants close to the sailing school, and enjoys excellent road access.
