Prepare for the "perfect race." Starting beneath the ancient Temple of Poseidon, the Aegean 600 is a non-stop tour through the cradle of western civilization. We battle the famous Meltemi winds, navigating a slalom course through the Cyclades and Dodecanese islands. From the caldera of Santorini to the straits of Rhodes, this is a fast, tactical, and visually stunning offshore challenge that demands total focus and teamwork.
Genuinely one of our favourite offshores when it comes to the course. The dynamic scenery not only delivers great views but also some wild land breeze effects. It has all crew on their toes!
4.5/5•17 ReviewsVeruda Sailing School is a high-performance offshore training center based in Pula, Croatia. We specialize in demanding mile-builder campaigns, offshore qualifiers, and endurance regattas (such as the Rolex Middle Sea Race, Aegean 600, and La 500). Our expeditions are designed specifically for sailors who want to step up their game, log serious Mediterranean miles, and experience the reality of offshore sailing in a highly structured environment. Aboard our fast, Cat 2-optimized offshore yacht, crew members are never just passengers. You will be fully integrated into the watch system and actively involved in all aspects of the passage, including advanced sail trim, weather routing, night watches, and heavy-weather boat handling. If you are looking to push your limits and learn true seamanship, welcome aboard.
Veruda Sailing School gets the balance right with proper seamanship, serious miles, and real adventure, not just ticking off certificates. Their offshore passages and hands-on training create sailors, not just students, which is exactly what SailTies is about.
