Instructions for sailing on a boat without a license

You have decided to go sailing for the first time in your life, but you do not know how to behave, or the dangers that await you, if there is any. We are going to share with you some keys to get afloat from the experience.

How to go dressed?

This is a question that is answered depending on the context. Are you going with plans to take a swim? Then it is best to come directly as if you were going to spend a day at the beach. Maybe you have booked a boat to just take a tour in Puerto Sotogrande with your friends, and then you go to dinner at a very elegant restaurant. Then there is no problem, since always if you stay inside the Port, the water will never enter the boat, so you can bring your best “outfit”.

What’s the plan?

You are simply going to see the interior of Puerto Sotogrande or you are planning to sail to the nearest beach and not get out of the water. Maybe you want to spend the whole morning sunbathing on a boat, or explore the waters in search of dolphins or any other aquatic animal. There are many possibilities to plan your day on the boat, if you ask us, we will be happy to help you choosing the offer that best suits your needs. Don’t forget to bring your snack and a bottle of water. People usually get hungry when they have been in the sun for a long time.

“Our unlicensed boats are not characterized for producing dizziness, they are stable and the sailing area is calm.”

Who is in charge?

As you may have already noticed, our boats are driven without a license, so it is very likely that the person in charge is the one who is sitting behind the wheel. Always follow the instructions of the driver, also called the skipper, as he will know at all times what is happening around him. Even so, remember that at Jugarnia Nautic we are always available for any questions you may have while you are navigating. If despite this, you still distrust your abilities, you can ask about the availability of a skipper to take the boat for you.

Oh my god!, I’m dizzy

This is a rather mysterious topic. There are people who get dizzy as soon as they step foot on the boat, and there are others who have no problem navigating. Some advice that we give you if you belong to any of these groups is to stay active and busy, look at the horizon and avoid the cold. In any case, our boats without the need of license are not characterized by producing dizziness, as they are quite stable and the navigation area is really quiet.
