Nautical Club has a long history. It was founded in 1973 near Alicante by a group of enthusiasts of water sports trying to spread their passion for the sea.
The Windsurf school is located to the North of the Alicante bay, just near the Albufereta Beach, sheltered by the sea on a plain sea area.
Surrounded by beaches on a safe and quiet bay, the Nautical Club is the perfect place for teens to start learning windsurf or continue their relationship with the waves and the wind.
The Club is an organisation officially approved by the Valencia Sailing Federation and, therefore, it follows the obligatory parameters in training, safety, material, and facilities: a trainer for every seven students, safety boats, own sea area limited by the coastal authorities, different boat types, safety coordinator, etc.
The Sailing and Windsurfing School has a qualified and highly experienced team; trainers are, in many cases, elite competitors with an important sports curriculum.

Living with a Spanish family is one of the best ways to get to know the country, including its culture and its people. It will also allow students to practice the Spanish language in a natural way.
The majority of the host families are near the school, around 10 or 15 minutes walking. If students live more than 20 minutes walking, we provide them with bus tickets to go to the school. All the quarters of the city are connected to the centre by urban buses running every 10-15 minutes.
The families are selected and visited regularly by our staff. In all of them, students will find a warm atmosphere that will help them get integrated into the family and city life very quickly. Families usually have children with a similar age to the students.
Students will have a single room or a twin room for friends or for two students from the same family coming together.
