Accommodation options

The price of camp is based on one kitesurfer in a shared double cabin. If you’d like to have your own room, you can check that box below. We’ll try to accommodate you as you wish, but please bear in mind that the catamaran has a limited number of spaces and we cannot guarantee your selected cabin’s availability. If you don’t check any boxes, we’ll assume you want to stay in a shared double cabin.

Your guide can provide all necessary equipment for an additional fee. Gear is available for experienced kitesurfers only. You can read more about the rental and the prices in our FAQ.

  • Make your way to the heart of the Mediterranean and work on your sailing navigation and kitesurfing skills on this week-long camp! Let your guide find perfect spots for kitesurfing and take advantage of the reliable mistral wind to reach a whole new level. Soak up your beautiful surroundings and enjoy the views of sunny beaches and the crystal clear water as you visit Porto Pollo, Strait of Bonifacio, the Tavolara and La Maddalena areas, South Corsica, and more!

    • Throughout the week, your itinerary will depend on various factors such as weather conditions, crowds, the group’s skill level and preferred surfing spot. However, a typical day usually looks something like this. 

      After you finish up with your breakfast between 8 and 9am, rest up and join your guides for briefing for the day.

      Sail until you find the perfect spot for 2-3 hours of kitesurfing, then replenish with lunch around 1 or 2pm. A good meal is followed by a siesta, then more kiting until sunset! Finish off the day with a hearty dinner and a hangout with the group before getting a good night’s rest.

      Sometimes you’ll stop in marinas for a change of pace or sail for up to 3 hours to reach distant surfing spots—usually when there’s no wind suitable for kitesurfing.

Lessons for beginners are carried out by IKO instructors and the student is assisted and followed by a tender (safety boat) with radio communication. The lessons last for a maximum of 1h per day.

      More lessons for beginners are possible in case of groups of kiters requesting a camp with the entire catamaran. If you have a beginner in your team, contact us prior to booking to make arrangements.

    • The ideal time to go kitesurfing in the Mediterranean is spring and autumn.

      If you’re heading to Sardinia, the mistral wind is the dominant one in the area, blowing from the northwest with an intensity between 15 and 35 knots. Mistral is strong and reliable, providing endless days of kitesurfing opportunities. If mistral is off, east and southeast winds will step up and open up other secret spots. A 3-4 mm wetsuit is advised for colder days.

      Greece, on the other hand, has the meltemi winds blowing from the north with an intensity between 12 and 30 knots. A long, 2-3 mm wetsuit is recommended for strong meltemi days.

    • Group sizes and prices:

        • For these kitesurfing adventures, the maximum group size is 7 for the Sardinia tour and 9 for the Greece tour.
        • The cost does not decrease as the group grows. 
        • Please note that there can be only one beginner kiter onboard, but if you have more beginners interested in participating, please let us know and we can arrange chartering the whole catamaran!

      Kitesurfing in the Mediterranean can be arranged for larger groups. Contact us to make arrangements.

      Min. age requirements:

        • If you are older than 18, you’re good to go.
        • While there is not necessarily a minimum age to kiteboard, there are minimum requirements, such as height and weight. Prior to booking, let us know the youngest ages in your party and we will let you know if it’s safe for them to get on the water. 

      If your group has kiters under the age of 18, contact us prior to booking to make arrangements.

    • The starting point of the Sardinia kitesurfing adventure is  Cannigione. To get there, most people fly into Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (OLB), about 35 minutes away from Cannigione. You can then rent a car, take a bus or a taxi to get to the marina.

        • Make sure to reach the catamaran in Cannigione by 9:30am on Day 1, as that’s when the catamaran will depart.
        • On the last day, you’ll check out between 9 and 10am, and the catamaran will arrive in the marina either the evening before the last day or the morning of the last day.

      The starting point of the Greek kitesurfing adventure is on the Paros Island, Parikia Marina. To get there, most people fly into Paros National Airpot (PAS), 15 minutes away from Parikia Marina. It’s best to take a taxi to get to Parikia Marina. Other options include flying into Mykonos-Manto Mavrogenous Airport (JMK) and then taking a 1-hour ferry from Mykonos harbor to Parikia.

        • Make sure to reach the catamaran in Parikia Marina by 6:30pm on Day 1, and the catamaran will depart from the marina the next morning.
        • On the last day, you’ll check out between 9 and 10am. The catamaran will arrive in the marina either the evening before the last day or the morning of the last day.
