This small Nautical Club has a long history.

It was founded in 1973 near Alicante by a group of enthusiasts of water sports trying to spread their passion for the sea.

Alicante Costa Blanca Nautical Club is located to the North of the bay, just near the Albufereta Beach, sheltered by the sea on a plain sea area.

Surrounded by beaches on a safe and quiet bay, the Sea School is the perfect place for teens to start or continue their relationship with the waves and the wind.

Nautical Club is an organisation officially approved by the Valencia Sailing Federation and, therefore, it follows the obligatory parameters in training, safety, material, and facilities: a trainer for every seven students, safety boats, own sea area limited by the coastal authorities, different boat types, safety coordinator, etc.

Windsurfing School of the Costa Blanca Nautical Club has a qualified and highly experienced team; trainers are, in many cases, elite competitors with an important sports curriculum.

The Sea School is opened the whole year round and organises summer camps during the summer months, with different difficulty levels. These camps are directed by expert trainers and offer all safety guarantees:

Nautical Club facilities have showers and changing rooms, activity room, and classrooms for theory lessons with different audiovisual means, as well as café and restaurant.
