Catamaran Sailing holidays

With a top speed of over 20 knots sailing in a Hobie Cat 16 catamaran is fantastic. The catamarans skim over the waves in the brilliant sunshine while you are cooled by the spray.

Catamaran sailing course

AmfibieTreks offers catamaran sailing courses in accordance with the internationally recognised VDWS system. In 3 days you learn the basics of sailing in a catamaran, type Hobie Cat 16. The course lasts for total of 9 hours (3 hours a day) at the end of which it is possible to obtain the official VDWS certificate. AmfibieTreks uses modern transmitters, which allow the instructor to be in constant contact with his pupils. This ensures maximum safety and speed of learning.

Wind en water

The “Scirocco” wind blows most days in the bay of St. Lucia, in the mornings 2-3 Beaufort and in the afternoons 4-5 Beaufort. The surface of the water is usually beautifully calm in the summer months, ideal circumstances for beginners. The water temperature is usually warm enough to sail without a wetsuit. If it should be too chilly for you then AmfibieTreks has wetsuits available.

Sailing camp Santa Lucia

There is a special sailing camp for sailors aged around 18-30 years old on campsite Santa Lucia. If you are travelling alone a sailing holiday is a pleasant way to make contact with other participants. Guests who stay at campsite Mandras are taken to the sailing course on the beach at Santa Lucia and are taken back to Mandras after the sailing.
