Sailing Academy

WELCOME TO PEDALION YACHTING ACADEMY

At Pedalion Yachting Academy, we believe sailing is more than a skill—it’s a way of life. Whether you are new to boat ownership or dreaming of a yacht charter holiday, we offer courses that cater to every level of experience. From complete beginners to aspiring skippers, our practical and theory-based programs are designed to guide you every step of the way. Our courses build confidence from the basics, like understanding nautical terminology, to advanced lessons on how to become a competent crew member or safely skipper a yacht. Academy members can begin their journey at any level depending on their experience and progress at their own pace. With flexible options, you can complete courses all at once or spread them over several days or weekends—whatever suits your schedule best. Theory courses can be taken either in the classroom or online, making it easier for you to learn at your convenience. All courses are available in both Greek and English to cater to a wider audience.
