RESIDENTIAL COURSES FOR ADULTS, TEENAGERS AND FAMILIES

Located in a unique location in the world, the Compagnia della Vela di Venezia, every year introduces adults and children to the fantastic sport of sailing.
300 students during the summer season, 8 federal instructors, 30 boats, 3,600 square meters of indoor and outdoor spaces, more than 100 years of history, an America’s Cup competed with the Moro di Venezia are just some of the numbers we are proud of.

Our residential proposals range from sailing weeks to weekends, and combine the training experience of a four-day sailing course with the relaxation of a stay in one of the most evocative and peaceful corners of Venice, a stone’s throw from the historic center, the island of San Giorgio.
