Sailing instruction and charter offerings

Capetan Club’s Romanian-language page lists practical sailing modules, including HOP and HOPA for minimum-experience and advanced levels, a tidal-water module called HOT, online theory, RYA courses and radio-certification courses. The provider separately advertises charter offers in more than 120 destinations and over 108 bases.

Confirm course outcomes and availability

The page describes sailing courses and charter offers, but does not guarantee that a course will result in a particular license or establish charter availability. Confirm course requirements and outcomes with the provider, and check current charter details.

A Sailing School With a Community

The school brings together people who want to learn navigation at every level, from first sessions on the water to plans for a career at sea. Learners can join a wider network that links less experienced sailors with more experienced people who share knowledge and time afloat. Beyond training, the offer includes personalised consultancy on equipment, course choice and next steps. The focus stays on practical sailing, backed by certificates that help sailors show what they have learned.

Practical Training Courses

Training runs from short practice modules to multi day courses held on the water, and theory is available online. Learners can progress from beginner level to advanced practice, with options for tidal water too. Radio certificates for sea and coastal communication sit alongside the sailing programme. Private practice sessions and regional groups for sailors add further choice for people who prefer a smaller setting.

Our full take

Capetan Club runs practical sailing courses for skippers at every level, from basic manoeuvres to sailing in challenging conditions, and courses towards an internationally recognised sailing licence that allows boat charter. It also hires out catamarans and sailboats for sailing holidays from more than 15,000 boats worldwide with real time availability, and runs Sail Armada flotilla weeks in the Mediterranean.

Frequently asked questions

Does completing a listed course guarantee a sailing license?+

The page lists RYA and radio-certification courses but does not state that completing a course guarantees a license. Confirm the course outcome and requirements with Capetan Club.

Which sailing levels can learners start from?+

Learners can start with short practice modules that suit minimal experience and move up to advanced practice. The courses cover a range from basic skills to skipper level certificates, and online theory lessons sit alongside time on the water. The right starting point depends on how much sailing experience a learner already has.

Can learners take radio certificates alongside sailing courses?+

Yes, radio certificates sit alongside the sailing programme, so learners can add a communication qualification to their practical training. Combining the two gives a well rounded preparation for time on the water. Learners can choose the level that fits their plans.
