EMPURIABRAVA SAILING: Reviews
Fantastic experience: We had an amazing experience with a five-day private sailing course led by our instructor, Miguel. He is incredibly patient, passionate, and energetic, tailoring the lessons to match your learning style and pace. Miguel made each session interesting, challenging, and exciting. We started with the basics—directions names, rigging the boat and basic steering—and by the end, we felt confident handling the steering, sails and balance, even in rough wind conditions. The course also included valuable hands-on practice like capsizing and man-overboard drills, and it was lots of fun. This is a wonderful sailing and water sports school with a great location and a welcoming atmosphere. We’ll definitely try to come back!
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff, good equipment, great experience! The staff was very helpful in selecting the right equipment. Rented windsurfing gear for 5 hours and everything was perfect. They have a practice lake for beginners & when the sea is too rough. When conditions are good it's no problem going out on the sea. I came back a couple days in a row and the staff was very gracious in calculating the rented time. 10-15 minutes late was no issue; 30-45 minutes late offered as half price of the hour cost. From what I could see the instructors are very competent: one of them surfed with straight legs on the !!side!! of the board. I definitely recommend this place.
Fantastic experience:
I enjoyed it very much! There is parking for the car nearby, the scenery around us is spectacular, and Ana explained everything to me very well. Very happy with this experience and I hope to return soon.

Fantastic experience: Excellent location, good value for money, and good staff. I had a 1.5-hour windsurf lesson from instructor Ainhoa. Very clear explanation and demonstration. In 1.5 hours, she taught me all the basic principles and I was ready to further develop myself on my own.
Fantastic experience:
Hello, we did supYoga with 9 girls for my cousin's bachelorette party. Being the maid of honor, I decided to discover this activity. It was awesome, everyone loved it. I recommend, however, a light breakfast before going. It was the most relaxing day. We came out zen like never before!

Fantastic experience: Our group of 5 booked onto the yoga SUP. It was such an amazing experience. Our instructor was so calming and encouraging. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and have booked again. Most definitely worth it - we had a mixed bag of abilities from never-used a paddle board to never tried yoga. The relaxation at the end with the movement of the water is amazing.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, good prices, good instructors! Thanks Flor, Anna, Inoya and Marcel for the lessons! Greetings by Lotte, Amber and Stijn

An absolutely fantastic sailing school! The instructors are very professional and experienced, and they create a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. I had a great time learning to sail here. The equipment is top-notch and the location in Empuriabrava is beautiful. Highly recommended! The best sailing school on the Costa Brava

Fantastic experience: Lovely location to enjoy everything water sports have to offer with the family. For a reasonable price, we rented a sup board and a kayak. The adjacent lagoon provides the perfect opportunity to practice in relatively calm and flat water. Afterwards, you can put what you've learned into practice by heading a few meters further into the sea. Also, a very nice service. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience:
The best city for relaxation, sea, a huge beach, channels with boats and yachts, parachutes, a park with butterflies... whatever someone likes.

Fantastic experience:
Alle super nett dort. Habe 4 Tage Windsurfing gemacht und viel gelernt. Nach dem 3. Tag wurde ich leider krank und mir wurden ohne Probleme Ausweichtermine angeboten, weil ich diese nicht wahrnehmen konnte, bekomme ich sogar ein Teil des Geldes zurück.

Fantastic experience: We went to Empuriabrava Sailing to rent a SUP and also took a windsurfing course there. Great windsurfing trainer, explained everything perfectly in detail and also spent more time with us than actually agreed. We will definitely come back.
Fantastic experience:
It's a shame that it goes by so quickly 1.30h, that means how well we've had a good time. The surf instruction class with Marc has been great, he even acted as an impromptu photographer for us. Marina coordinated everything super quickly since it was all from one day to the next, it has been a pleasure to enjoy her activities, surfing the most, kayaking not so much. We were 2 adults aged between 35-40 years. If we come back to Empuriabrava, we'll do it again!

Very good place and good equipment for paddle surfing practice. They do not take reservations for groups smaller than 6, a mistake for families.
