Children and teens – Geneva Sailing School

Enjoy the lake and sunny days to introduce your children and teens to sailing. A unique activity in open air on the lake Geneva.

Future sailors will learn as a crew to recognize the winds, adjust the sails and operate a sailboat in a safe environment.
Crewing with children of their own age, your children will discover the basics of sailing, learn to hoist the sails, take the helm, but also live together, pay attention to others and to the privileged environment that is Lake Geneva. Our certified instructors strive to share their passion for sailing with the youngest crews.

By mixing animation and imagination with learning, children enjoy discovering the world of sailing, together.

Our sailing practice includes respect for others, the environment and the preservation of the lake.

Our courses start and end at the port des Pâquis and no prior knowledge of sailing is required, nor swimming.
If the weather is not suitable for sailing, lessons still take place and other activities linked to navigation are organized, such as nautical knots.
