The place

A natural bay for sailing all year round

Grímpola is in Puerto de Mazarrón, a place with an average annual temperature of 19 ºC, mild winters and around 3,000 hours of sunshine a year. Its location and its orientation to the prevailing winds make it a privileged spot for sailing.

The school sits inside the natural bay that washes La Ermita beach, between Isla de Adentro and the marina. You can sail in its shallow waters or, when your skills allow, head out to open sea and enjoy it to the full.

What people who have sailed with us say

Our experience with Grímpola sailing school was a very pleasant surprise, because they gave us far more than we expected. We would like to express our deepest thanks to all of them for their patience and expertise.

Grímpola sailing school has been the perfect travelling companion as I discovered sailing. Very serious and professional, with a great knowledge of watersports. I really appreciated the way they put themselves at the level of someone who had never sailed, passing on their passion for the sea and awakening a hobby that, once you try it, has you hooked.

It was a great decision to take Grímpola’s courses when we were starting out in dinghy sailing. We found professionals with great knowledge who adapted to our level and made our learning a pleasant, stimulating and enriching experience.
Santiago FoulquiéMolina de Segura (Murcia)
For the whole family it was very exciting and rewarding to enjoy watersports with Grímpola. Their experience across the different disciplines, their endless patience and their ability to motivate were key to us enjoying every activity we tried to the full: from windsurfing and sailing to the kids’ sailing camps for the little ones.
