SKS sailing trip with sailwithus – you can look forward to it:

Welcome aboard! Here you will learn how to skipper a yacht safely. Your SKS practical cruise with examination combines intensive maneuver training with a real vacation feeling.

Training & SKS license

We train the exam-relevant maneuvers every day: buoy overboard, tacking, jibing and mooring under engine. Our experienced skipper team will prepare you specifically for the practical exam at the end of the week during the SKS exam cruise. You will learn navigation, meteorology and technique directly in practice.

Experience SKS Spain & Croatia

Whether SKS Spain or Croatia – we use the best areas for your success. Despite the focus on learning, fun is not neglected: in the evening in the bay or in the harbor we end the day in a relaxed atmosphere. You need 300 nautical miles to pass the exam. During the SKS cruise you will collect up to 100 nautical miles. Depending on how many miles you need, we recommend booking a vacation cruise or mileage cruise for one or two weeks before the SKS training cruise in order to complete the required 300 nautical miles.
