ICC course still proves popular

Our popular 3 day ICC course still proves to be popular, despite the economic downturn, it would appear that a few people are taking advantage of market forces and purchasing yachts at knockdown prices. Spanish authorites insist on an ICC or higher RYA qualification if sailing a British Registered boat in Spains coastal waters, so don't get caught out. Call us today on +34 968 143 718 to find out more about training and getting legal.

Spanish Marinas hit new low

Is it just me or do Spanish marinas all seem to be extremely quiet at the moment. It is usual for a calm period after the hectic Spanish summer but thing appear a little quieter than normal. Travelling round we have been lucky to see more than a handfull or people around the places, that even includes most of the boatyards. What is going on and does the same appear to be true in your home marina, please let us know.
