4-6 days depending on the level of certification. At the<br />
end of each course, students receive an internationally<br />
recognized IYT/MCA certificate which is accepted by<br />
all charter/rental boat companies and coast guard<br />
authorities around the world.<br />
Is it just the beauty of the Bay to enjoy? Certainly not!<br />
Northern Palawan is very unique compared to other<br />
Southeastern Asia for reliable winds in the Habagat<br />
season from November till June. The winds go from<br />
10 to 20 knots throughout the day from the north/<br />
east, which makes perfect condition for sailors as well<br />
as students. In addition, the Bacuit Bay is sheltered<br />
from ocean swells hence is ideal for beginners to<br />
experience their first sail trimming and steering. More<br />
advanced students can experience coastal sailing<br />
with trips between El Nido, Linapacan, Coron, Port<br />
Barton, and Puerto Princesa. For even more advanced<br />
skipper candidates, farther trips can be organized to<br />
experience blue water sailing up to Puerto Galera,<br />
Mindoro. Engine off, chart plotter off …students can<br />
learn the art of navigating by the stars with the help of<br />
a sextant and guidance from their instructor.<br />

Other than courses, Palawan sailing organizes custom<br />
sailing expeditions around the Northern Palawan.<br />
Usual trips range from 3 to 8 days. Aquilone can easily<br />
accommodate 4 guests very comfortably in 2 separate<br />
cabins, ideal for families and/or two couples. Most days<br />
are spent cruising from one secret island to another,<br />
with plenty time to relax on the deck or snorkeling<br />
on pristine reef. To fully appreciate the stunning view<br />
and tranquility of Big Lagoon and Small Lagoon, visit<br />
such spots in Bacuit Bay before the hordes of bancas<br />
arrive. Only a private sailing expedition can bring this<br />
unspoiled beauty to you.<br />
Learn to sail. Hold the tiller. Feel the breeze. Love the<br />
freedom.<br />
