In a few words
Level 2 corresponds to advanced training . The aim of this course is to solidify your role as a crew member while providing you with the fundamental knowledge of navigation. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to identify inappropriate behavior on board a sailboat, have a good understanding of your surroundings, and a solid command of maritime terminology. You will sail in an idyllic setting: the harbor of Marseille, the Calanques, Cassis , and more—20 km of rugged coastline overlooking turquoise waters, forming the wild paradise of the Calanques, a designated national park. A sailing trip under the watchful gaze of Notre-Dame de la Garde and the Mediterranean sun.
