View photos

The instructor hands you the tiller. The boat responds. And suddenly you understand that the wind is not just something that happens — it is something you can use.

At Ribes Roges beach, facing the Garraf Natural Park, this sailing taster is an active two-hour lesson aboard the Ludic — a teaching boat for up to 9 people — where you learn by doing, not watching.

  • Level 1 – Discovery: suitable for everyone
  • Ludic teaching boat, up to 9 people
  • Qualified instructor included, no prior experience needed

The experience – Sailing Taster on the Garraf Coast

You have never sailed before. You do not know what trimming means or why a boat speeds up when you heel it. You do not need to know yet — that is exactly what a sailing taster is for. At RocRoi Vilanova we sail on the Ludic, a collective dinghy with capacity for up to 9 people, stable, safe and designed specifically for teaching. The instructor can be on board with the whole group at once, which makes learning smoother, safer and much more fun.

The goal is not memorisation — it is feeling how the boat responds. Your qualified instructor explains how to rig the boat, the basic terminology and the principles of sailing with the wind. Then the tiller is yours. This is not a passive trip: you take part, you manoeuvre, you learn by doing.

Vilanova i la Geltrú is 45 km from Barcelona, reachable by direct train from Sants in 45 minutes. Changing rooms and showers are available at the base when you finish.

Included in the price

What the experience feels like

Families: a first sea adventure where children discover that the wind obeys if you know how to ask it to. The whole group, aboard the same boat.

Couples: learning to take the tiller together, with the Mediterranean and the Garraf as your backdrop. A new experience to share.

Groups of friends: up to 9 people on the same Ludic. Learn, laugh, compete — the perfect excuse to come ashore with a new skill.

FAQs

Will I actually get to take the tiller during the taster?

That is the whole point. This is not a passive trip: it is an active lesson. Under the instructor’s supervision, you take part in the manoeuvres and hold the tiller to feel how the wind translates into speed on the water.

What is the Ludic boat and why do we use it?

The Ludic is a collective dinghy with capacity for up to 9 people. It is stable, safe and designed specifically for teaching: the instructor can be on board with the whole group at the same time, making learning more dynamic and safer than on small single-handed beginners’ dinghies.

Do I need any prior sailing or nautical knowledge?

Not at all. The taster is designed for absolute beginners. Instructors adapt their language and techniques so that everyone can enjoy their first dinghy sailing experience on the Garraf Coast.

What is the difference between the sailing taster and the Catamaran Adrenaline trip?

The sailing taster is a class: you learn, practise manoeuvres and take the tiller. The Adrenaline trip is a guided catamaran experience where the instructor handles the sailing while you enjoy the speed and the Garraf scenery. If you are after thrills without the technical learning, the Adrenaline trip is your option.

Can I book the sailing taster for a group of friends?

Yes. The Ludic has capacity for up to 9 people, making it the ideal option for groups who want to share the experience aboard the same boat.
