Our base is located in a protected bay and offers ideal practice and training facilities for beginners and advanced pupils. The upstream archipelago “les Cerbicales” is suitable as a destination for longer sorties. Along the coast there are also some picturesque bays that are ideal for day trips when kayaking or canoeing.

Our station is located in a protected bay and therefore in a very safe area.
Your safety is paramount. Daily security checks and first aid training are part of our job. For all activities we provide the equipment as well as neoprene suits, neoprene shoes, trapeze and life jackets.
We explain the special features of the area to everyone, we keep an eye on our students and customers, and our bay and the sea in front of us are under constant observation from a water monitoring station above the lighthouse.
On every catamaran trip we provide a radio telephone for communication with the base.

Between 20 and 30 degrees.
If it is too cold for you, we are happy to provide you with wetsuits and shoes.

The main wind directions are: Mistral and Libeccu, diagonally offshore 5-8 BF, Scirocco onshore, 4 – 6 BF, mainly in summer, Tramontana, 4-7 BF, spring and autumn with good waves. In midsummer, on most days we have thermals with onshore winds of up to 4 BF.
La Chiappa is a medium strength wind area where sailors and surfers of all skill levels will get their money’s worth. There is a steady wind of 5-7 BF for as long as a week at a time and we also have quiet periods.
In midsummer, most days are calm with an onshore wind and it is ideal for both beginners’ and children’s training.

A restaurant and a bar await you right by the sea. A supermarket is available for shopping.

You can find changing rooms, showers and toilets near the water sports beach.
