fun sailing from LES BASSETES
Sailing every Friday from June to September.
Perfect for learning & practice
Learn how a Hobie Cat differs from a dinghy!
Up to four cats available
At special discounted CBYA rates
Want to improve your catamaran sailing? Or experience the fun of a light, fast accelerating cat for the 1st time? Not afraid to get wet? Want to go out on a wire? See if you can fly a hull?
Join us on Wednesday afternoons at 3 pm doing July to August when we sail Hobie Getaways at Les Bassetes Bay, Benissa (near Calpe). The cats are rigged and ready to go. Experienced sailors act as skippers and take 2 or 3 crew out for 2 hours of fun. We have a drink afterwards at the Coral Beach terrace with a view of the Peñón de Ifach.
Note, you must be a member of the CBYA to sail (temporary memberships of up to 1 month are available via the ‘JOIN US’ link on the Website). Participation is by RSVP though the ‘EVENTS’ page on the Website. Click ‘Going’ if you would like to take part.

The CBYA rents from Las Antipodas Watersports at Les Bassetes. They provide:
- Up to Three Hobie Cat 17´ Getaways
The Hobie Getaway 17 is a fast, stable and safe catamaran. It is ideal for the Mediterranean soft thermal breezes; at the softest breath of wind the Getaway flies! The boat is officially approved for 6 people but sails as if only 3 were on board! With only 2 or 3 people it is superfast!
This is wet sailing so a change of clothes would be wise! Also sun glasses, sun cream, hat, sailing gloves, etc.
Buoyancy jackets are available on loan, but better to bring your own if you have one.
The CBYA Committee requires that, as from 1st January 2024, all sailing members purchase Personal Liability Insurance which will cover them for any CBYA sailing activities. This includes dinghy and Hobie Cat sailors, as well as those that join the monthly CBYA day charters and annual CBYA charter holiday trips.
