In the summer of 2018, we opened season 4 of the Academy of Young Navigators – family yachting. In autumn we go to Turkey – it is still warm and the sun shines in Fethiye! Let's continue the summer!
WHAT IS THAT?
The Young Sailors' Academy is more than a yacht! Family trips on yachts we spend 4 years in a row, we know from experience: a sea trip on a yacht with active training and participation in the life of a boat is a complete change of the usual picture and type of activity, a “reboot” of adults and children, a long-awaited replacement for the annual land “package” tourism. Children’s regattas are an opportunity to live a new, unlike anything else, emotional experience of traveling with a child, in which there are no passive roles. Parents discover their children from new angles, see their wisdom and courage, their readiness to work together and overcome difficulties, their happiness every minute at sea.
WHAT IS THE ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAM?
Together with the counselors, we will learn how to knit sea knots, learn all about the lives of real sailors, launch kites, build sand castles, have a picnic on a desert island and find a treasure! We will also see the North Star, find the Big and Little Bear in the night starry sky. While children have fun, parents can devote their free time to their hobbies or join the children.
HOW'S IT GOING?
Under the guidance of experienced captains and counselors, the team embarks on a week-long maritime expedition on comfortable cruise yachts.
We select qualified skippers who teach the participants of the expedition to seawork and charge adults and children with a love of the sea and adventure!
HOW DO WE LIVE?
Children and parents live on boats in comfortable double cabins. 5 cabins have three bathrooms with shower and hot water. Each boat has its own kitchen, which is prepared from the freshest products purchased in shops and local port markets. Children's regatta is when training is necessarily alternated with entertainment and rest. Transitions are small -1.5 - 3 hours, every day we land on new beaches and spend a lot of time in traffic on the shore And no gadgets! First of all, no time! Secondly, nobody remembers!
WHAT DOES THAT DO?
By the end of the journey, parents and child will know what is the work of a sailor, a boatsman, a navigator, a radio operator, an assistant captain, as well as what is a gazebo knot, how to knit faucets, stuff a duck, give and take moorings, and loudly shout “anchor is clear” when we embark on the journey.
