Main program:
Sea Quest is a perfect first step towards learning to sail. The program is designed with beginners in mind and by the end of the 2 weeks you will be a competent crew member with a solid grasp of life aboard a yacht.
Starting from the island of Procida, students set out on an incredible adventure alternating between two different and exciting weeklong itineraries.
Northern Itinerary: The Pontine Islands (part of Circeo National Park) with Zannone for world-class snorkeling, Ventotene to discover the ancient Roman port, Santo Stefano to visit the famous abandoned Bourbon prison.
Southern Itinerary: In and around Capri for a cultural expedition and a visit to the renowned Blue Grotto, a cruise along the Amalfi coast with a stop in Positano, a night in Ischia dining in a true Neapolitan pizzeria.
The whole experience is run entirely in English, from daily instruction on sailing basics to team projects and marine life workshops. All learning is rooted in experiential education with students enjoying a sense of achievement as they put their newly acquired skills to practice. Life aboard a yacht presents the perfect full immersion environment to develop communication and leadership skills which in turn strengthen relationships and build self-reliance.
Taking into account the need to understand safety instructions, students are encouraged to have a minimum B1 level of English.
Students set sail as part of a pair of yachts, each with an experienced sailing instructor and Alphabet crew member. Every day they acquire knowledge that is put into action as they navigate from island to island, setting the course, tacking, jibing, dropping the anchor for a swim or mooring at a marina for the night.
Throughout the journey, students take part in interactive lessons on marine life and cultural history.
