Orza Minore organizes sailing courses and leisure activities related to sailing for children, individuals and companies, from its different operational bases in Italy.

The Monza and Milan offices are intended for the theoretical part of the nautical license courses, which are completed with exercises to be carried out at the Ligurian base of Fezzano.

The sailing courses organized for individuals are aimed at children and adults and take place on different types of vehicles: cruisers, dinghies and windsurfing, as well as along the Ligurian coast also on Lake Como, in Dervio, and in the tourist resort of Porto Pollo , in Palau, Sardinia

Courses for adults on cabin cruisers : they are held with the aim of training navigation experts who can carry out the activity with a complete and in-depth knowledge of teaching and in complete safety. A fundamental and essential part of the sailing school is that which concerns practical exercises, therefore great importance is given to activities on board the boat , obviously carefully supported by adequate theoretical preparation by the Orza Minore instructor team.
The school's method is structured on four levels of course which has its principle in the fundamental teachings included in the basic course and gradually progresses until it is possible to tackle offshore navigation.
The instructor will always be present to guide the student during his progression and help him quickly reach his autonomy in navigation.

The courses are organized in all three bases of the school, while those of Coastal Navigation and d'Altura remain itinerant.

Courses for children : they take up around five / six hours a day for students, including theory and practice activities on the boat. In Orza Minore there are instructors specialized in teaching the youngest who will follow the students constantly, in small groups (there will be an instructor every four / five students).

Among the Goals of Orza Minore , however, there is not only that of training children on navigation techniques , but also of accompanying them in their training in a complete way, so that they can learn the "culture of the sea", discovering and respecting this extraordinary environment through the direct and spontaneous learning of navigation maneuvers.
