Intro to Sailing, ASA courses, Charters

Sail with us in the historic city of Acre, on the beautiful bay of Haifa

Acre (Akko) is a UNESCO World Heritage City, in the north of Israel, rich in historical sites from the Crusaders and Ottoman times. Today it is a vibrant small community, with lovely authentic oriental market,  a fishing port and marina

Haifa holds another UNESCO World Heritage site, the Bahai Temple & Gardens

See the old Acre Ottoman walls from the sea, the vantage point of  British Navy commodore Sir Sidney Smith, who helped the Turks defend the old city in 1799 from Napoleon's attempt to capture it – in which he failed

Go sailing to the south, and see the Bahai Gardens of Haifa from the sea

Sail with us north, and see the Achziv Reefs, close to Rosh Hanikra, the northern point of the Israeli coast
