If it may be a little more, we recommend our Catamaran trial course. The course contents is a slightly reduced version of the Catamaran beginner course. It includes 6 hours of practice with an instructor and covers some basic theoretical aspects, although the focus is definitely more on practice. After completing, you can extend the course and do the basic catamaran license.

Tack, Jibe, Heel And Feel The Catamaran
The certified beginners course for sailing on multihulls provides basic practical and theoretical knowledge of catamaran sailing. During the whole course you will have an experienced catamaran instructor directly at your side. You will sit at the helm or jib from the first lesson and thus sail the catamaran yourself.

At the end you can decide if you want to take the exam for the Catamaran Basic License International of the VDWS ((extra € 40.00). With this license you can sail or rent catamarans at VDWS stations worldwide.
You will learn basic sailing skills as well as gain catamaran specific competence:

Individual Training With Instructor
If you’ve always wanted to try a catamaran you found the right place. Book a non-binding hour with one of our instructors on a Hobie Catamaran. Depending on your interest and skills you can decide whether you want to take the helm from the start or first leave it to the instructor. Even if you’re brand new to sailing, it usually does not take much more than 10 minutes until you sit at the rudder and steer the boat. Be prepared though. It is addictive. Most guests – whether beginner or advanced sailors who have never sailed on a catamaran – get hooked to the “Hobie Way Of Life” and will continue the thrilling journey on those speedy boats.

What People are Saying About Us

Super nice, fun and professional team. The arrangements are straightforward and reliable. I really enjoyed the course and learned a lot! I like to think back and I will hopefully come back!
Great place, very good trainer, very good conditions for beginners and pros (different morning and afternoon winds serve any talent). Sailcompany is a good place for sailing (btw – no other place found like this on the entire coast!) and I definitely recommend.
A great experience, had a lot of fun. Greetings to the Algarve. See you next time.
Professional, very relaxed and helpful – also suitable for beginners. Had a lot of fun.
Great sailing school in a great location. Always a party with Rainer to go to the cat. Highly recommended.
Highly recommended, feel good, professional Hobie and Laser sailing school as well as rental place. Rainer is an absolute sailing pro and great teacher for both beginners and advanced sailors. He’s 100% dedicated to his job and makes sure you will get the most out of your time with him.
Sailcompany is a known but still hidden gem for sailing action in Lagos. They have a very friendly and service oriented team. We learned to sail the Catamaran in various conditions (little wind , waves and strong wind).
Rainer always stayed calm and controlled so you get a sound and super skilled understanding of managing a CAT.
We really loved it and will come back.
