Seafarer Training Nikiana
Dinghy, Windsurf and Powering School based at NIkiana Beach Club on the island of Lefkas in Greece.
Learning to sail or windsurf in the warm and sunny Ionian has obvious advantages. Even in early season, thanks to the pleasant water temperatures wet suits are not required, whilst the consistent wind patterns of light winds in the morning with fresher winds in the afternoon, mean that all abilities are catered for. Many of our guests choose to book a sailing course during their one or two week holiday after which they have plenty of opportunity to practice their new skills given the range of craft and the fact that you have unlimited use each day. Powerboat courses are aimed at those perhaps wishing to purchase a powerboat in future or to improve and formalise their skills for use with a sailing club or school.
