Based at the Malcesine Sailing Centre (FVM)
We are the only RYA and VDWS sailing school on Lake Garda and are certified to run courses in dinghy sailing, catamaran sailing, windsurfing, keelboat and powerboat. We also offer our own courses tailored to shorter stays, or for those who don't want to spend the whole week on the water.
We are based at the purpose built Malcesine sailing centre, called the Fraglia Vela Malcesine (FVM), which means a fully operational watersports centre with facilities for sailors and non-sailors as well as being perfectly placed for walking, cycling or taking a bus to explore the lakeside.
