Catamaran course program (french version)
It is also possible to plan a catamaran course mainly focused on sailing, with more distant destinations — heading for La Maddalena, Piana, or Asinara.
The programs are similar to our skippered catamaran cruises, with the key difference that you will be at the helm and will benefit from theoretical lessons as well!
