Location
Oeiras Yachting Harbor offers access to an outstanding water plan. It offers modern infrastructure with restaurants, shops, showers, parking and boatyard all in a stunning location between Lisbon and Cascais.
Around the marina, you will find several high quality beaches, and ocean swimming-pool and a cycle path by the water. Its strategic location at the mouth of the river Tagus allows you to experience the Atlantic or otherwise look for the more protected and tidal waters of the river.
Classes take place from the Harbor of Oeiras, and in boats appropriately accredited for this purpose.

We are proud on our work so we’re not satisfied unless you are satisfied. If, for some reason, you are unhappy with the activity or experience that you chose you can repeat it without any additional cost.
We can’t guarantee in advance that you’ll pass and get your certificate. However we can assure you that we’ll do everything we can to help you achieving your goals.
That’s why we’re the only company offering you a “Learning Agreement and Second Chance”, offering the possibility of repeating the course (or part of it) without any additional costs.
