We offer high-quality training in English or Portuguese, with the option of two certification schemes. We are the first school in Lisbon to be recognised by the RYA and have trained over 1,100 students annually since 2005. We have our own fleet of five sailing and motorboats, supported by a team with extensive experience and ongoing training. Our centre at Marina de Oeiras, with two training rooms, enjoys a prime location with access to the Tagus River and the Atlantic Ocean, a strategic spot for beginners or for improving your skills, with wind, tides, and sun guaranteed!

João Brito

Tive a oportunidade de tirar a carta de Patrão Local da West Coast e não podia estar mais contente pela escolha. Não só a equipa de professores é espetacular, como as embarcações utilizadas nas aulas práticas são 5 estrelas para aprender a governar e a manobrar :)

Uma escola de refêrencia.

Conrad Griffiths

I wanted to thank you and the team at West Coast again for such na enjoyable week.

Your professionalism and seamanship are most impressive, and I learnt so much from you. Garry could not have asked for a better teacher as as introduction to sailing. Your love of the sea and your enthusiasm are limitless as are your energy levels! It was also great fun to spend a week in your companuy and it is a compliment to you that we enjoyed every single day and every aspect of the course. Your local knowledge meant we found the best weather, winds and tides and avoided rough seas and queasy stomachs.

I will certainly recommend you and West Coast to anyone who is interested in sailing and I hope we can sail with you again.

I will contact you and West Coast when I have time to plan my next adventure.

O instrutor João Barradas foi um dos melhores que já tive na West Coast.

Foi a primeira aula com ele, e ele é muito competente, deixo os alunos a vontade e explica de uma forma muito intuitiva e dinâmica.

Obrigado
