Sailing Courses operate from Puerto Galera.
Other Watersports
Because Puerto Galera is a mecca for all water sports, in between sailing lessons, students can enjoy scuba-diving, windsurfing, snorkeling, jet skiing, kayaking or simply bask in the beauty of this mangrove fringed paradise.
Windsurfing School
If you already know how to sail a dinghy and want to learn to windsurf then you can come to Puerto Galera and attend the Sandbar Windsurfing School on Boquete Beach.
Learn to Sail a Hobie 16

Learn to Sail in one of the World's most Beautiful Bays!
We've teamed up with the Puerto Galera Yacht Club, on the island of Mindoro, south of Manila, to offer tuition to those keen on learning how to sail in one of the world's most beautiful natural bays, amidst crystal-clear, warm tropical waters.
Light to moderate sailing breezes are almost guaranteed so students learn to sail faster and achieve greater success. Where could be better? Courses cater for students of all ages, (their youngest graduate was 8 years old).
