We are a dedicated team, passionate to share what we have learned and proud to see our students set sail on their own.

"We are everyday moved by the passion for what we do. We want that whoever chooses to sail with us has the best possible experience, individual attentitio to their needs as well as boats with hight end quaity and equiment. We want above all to do better everytime we hoist our sails.

Choosing West Coast is also to choose an operator who cares about your safety at sea and works beyond the minimum legal requirements for operating on the water.

A solid Team that, since 2006, knows how to stand by you both on the water and ashore."

History

While we have always kept Training as our main focus (Sailing Courses and "Cartas de Navegador"), West Coast is present in several areas namely corporate nautical events (teambuilding and client entertainment), Skippered Yacht Charter, Yacht Deliveries and Chandlery with several support services and well known nautical brands on sale at our marina shop.

Some of our products and services, like the My Yacht, are absolute inovations in our market and reflect our permanent effort of leadership and improvement.

Our Member's Club is a fractional sailing system unique to Portugal. Lauchend in May 2010, it allows you to benefit from a sailing boat for the equivalent price of a mooring. We are also the first company to have created specific products for the "experience market". Sailing Baptisms, the famous "Romantic Cruise" (now also in its VIP version) Go Sailing and Learn to Sail. In 2010 we were also the first to lauch our own "Gift Boxes". In 2011 we launched our "Flexible Outings" a system that allows our student sto keep on sailing with total flexibility.

In  2012 we open new facilities with a new shop in our Base Marina, Oeiras. This has allowed us space to open a small chandlery providing services for passing and resident boats.

2013 starts with an important step . recognition from the RYA to teach in Lisbon the top sailing and powerboating training scheme - RYA Sail Cruising Scheme e RYA Powerboating Scheme. A recognition that puts Lisbon and West Coast in the map of the best worldwide training centres, both for sailing and powerboating.

In 2015 we reached recognition to teach RYA First Aid, a new short course adequa and a compulsory pre-requisite for the Yachtmaster exams.

In 2016 we lauched Patrão de Alto Mar, thus completing all training certifications within the portuguese certification scheme.

In 2017 we continued our permanent effort to introduce new courses with the new RYA Radar short course.

In 2018 we started the renovation of our fleet with a fantastic new Dufour 382 Grand Large. SY "PEARL" offers the most modern platform for our RYA courses. We have also expanded our offer for the portuguese certified courses with a nw location in Lisbona at "Marina Parque das Nações".

A marina with the best location and infrastructure in the Lisbon area, well equipped boats adequate for learning, and a team of motivated instructors. These are the ingredients we find crucial for a good experience afloat.

West Coast is also  the first school in the Lisbon area to reach RYA recognition and thus offers both the "Sail Cruising" scheme (Start Yachting, Competent Crew, Day Skipper, Coastal Skipper and Yachtmaster) and the "Powerboat" scheme (level 1 e level 2).

Our "Beginner's Courses" in Keelboats work with a student-instructor ratio of 3:1 (and never more than 4:1). In this way we can make sure that each student benefits from individual attention from the instructor and learns faster. Our keelboats up to 7.5m long are a fun, well priced and solid solution to start sailing before getting into "cruising" with larger yachts.

The courses which lead to a "Carta de Navegador" (Marinheiro, Patrão Local - the portuguese licence sytem) have a strong theorectical component and are taught in a room just overlooking the marina. A good knowledge of Portuguese is required for these courses.

Flexible Sailing is our bets solution to keep sailing and learning regularly if you don't have a boat. It works just like a free pass ifor a gym: you buy a pack with 8 outings, call us during the week to book and it's done. 100% flexible and without a rigid course calendar to follow - you only sail when you want to.

The Private Tutoring are also a good option for anyone looking for customized and individual training, either on board your own yacht or our own boat. It is also possible to provide RYA training (sail or power) onboard your boat.

How to Choose My Course?

Find the course that will take your boating skills to the level you aspire, wether sail or power.

To pick the right course it's very important to performa an honest evaluationof your present skills. More important than the certificate, chosing a level that is both a challenge but within reach is crucial for a positive and enriching learning experience.

Some quesitions worth asking yourself are:
 Does a gybe come by surprise for you?
Am I confotable when boat handling under power inside the marina?
Can I trim my outboard engine for speed and safety?
How many nautical miles have I sailed (day/night)?
In which boats have I sailed, where and in what roles?
How many passages have I done where I assumed responsibility as a skipper?
 Do I know my knots, when to give way/stand on?
Am I well aware of boat safety issues when afloat?
Can I use the weather forecast information to build my own forecast and take decisions?

Sailing baptisms are the ideal option for those who wish to feel the thrill of sailing on an amazing sailing boat.

For those who want to take a beginners course, it’s also an excellent way to try our boats, get to know our instructors team and have a first contact with sailing without great costs or commitment time.

Programe

The Sailing Baptism takes place around the starting harbor. Depending on wind and tide conditions, you may get out of the Tejo River passing the Bugio Lighthouse towards the sea or take the approach to the beautiful Lisbon.

You’ll learn the basics of sailing navigation and participate in the handling of the boat. Main Sheet and Genoa Sheet, Bowline, Tacking, Heading Up or Gybing will longer be a mystery to you!

Participants may integrate a sailing class taking place, joining the remaining students or in alternative may integrate days and groups especially dedicated to Sailing Baptisms.
