What do we offer?
Night Eagles is a training program for those who understand
that real captain-level skills are developed
when daylight disappears.
The cruise has been designed to provide,
within a short and intensive timeframe,
the maximum amount of real experience
in offshore night sailing.
During 48 hours participants work in conditions of:
- limited visibility
- changing weather conditions
- real fatigue and decision-making pressure
The program focuses entirely on offshore practice,
without recreational or entertainment elements.
You learn what truly matters:
- night marine navigation
- operating a yacht after dark
- recognizing navigation and sector lights
- port manoeuvres at night
- working with charts, GPS and onboard electronics
- operating and using VHF radio in real scenarios
- weather analysis and decision-making at night
Each participant actively handles the yacht,
stands watch and takes part in manoeuvres –
under the constant supervision of an experienced captain.
This is a cruise that:
- builds confidence
- teaches responsibility
- realistically prepares you for independent offshore voyages
