Course locations
There are various starting locations to choose from for your sailing training on Lake Zurich: Zurich-Enge, Wollishofen, Tiefenbrunnen, etc. You will be taught by experienced instructors at all locations. Wherever possible, we make sure that you are accompanied by the same person throughout your training.
Training
We mainly teach in private lessons or in groups of two. If three people register at the same time, training is also possible in groups of three. You can choose between morning, afternoon or evening lessons of three hours each or weekends or a whole week from Monday to Friday. In private lessons, you can determine the times yourself. This means you can decide for yourself how quickly you want to make progress towards exam readiness. Your instructor will ensure that you receive efficient and targeted training that corresponds to your current level of training.
