Take a course

The sailing courses

Glénans in Ireland offer three types of courses : cruising, catamaran and dinghy (available in English and French). Windsurfing is taught through French at Glénans bases in France.

Each of these courses has unique features, and it is important to know what to expect on each one, so that you can choose the right course for you. The courses offered vary in duration and accommodation is always included, whether on the base or on live-aboard boats (for cruising courses only).

Each course has multiple goals ; naturally, learning to sail and seamanship are major goals, but all courses also aim to increase your independence on the water in a safe environment, to give you increasing levels of responsibility, along with a healthy respect for the environment.

All courses aim to provide you with numerous enriching experiences.

The theory courses

It is important to understand the different conditions that can occur during any outing on the sea. For this reason Glénans organise theory courses covering maritime weather, navigation and technology.

These courses which are the perfect complement to the practical courses are available exclusively in French. They take place in Paris but can also be taken as distance learning courses.

Motorboat licences

In order to take the helm of a motorboat, Glénans offer courses that prepare you for a variety of coastal and off-shore licences. These courses take place year round on the Seine in Paris and are conducted through French.
