Geneva
Sailing instructor in Geneva
Geneva has the densest concentration of lakeside sports facilities in the region, and the parks along the Eaux-Vives and Pâquis shores carry most of the outdoor coaching that happens here. It is also compact: a coach can cross the city in twenty minutes, which means we can usually match a session to a time rather than to a neighbourhood.
The international population changes what people book. A large share of our Geneva sessions are people who have arrived recently and are picking a sport back up somewhere unfamiliar, often in a language other than the local one. English is the working language for most of our coaches here, and several work in German, Italian or Spanish. Say what you would prefer when you book.
The lakes are not the sea, and that is the point
Lake Geneva, Lucerne and Lugano all produce their own thermal winds that build through the afternoon and die at dusk, which makes them unusually good places to learn: reliable breeze, no tide, and land always in sight. It also makes them tricky in ways the open sea is not, and local knowledge is most of what you are paying for.
Boat and equipment
The boat is arranged as part of the session. Bring a windproof layer, sunglasses with a strap and shoes with a non-marking sole. Everything else, including buoyancy aids, comes with the boat.

Common questions
Do I need experience?
No. First-timers are a normal booking and the session is built around it.
Can we come as a family?
Yes — say how many of you and the ages, and we will match the boat and the instructor accordingly.
What if there is no wind?
Your instructor decides on the morning. If the day is unusable we move it at no cost; there is no point paying to drift.
