How does a sailing club work?
Saudade is a sailing club where you can enjoy your yacht for one full week in summer, three weekends and ten individual weekdays, paying only a monthly fee. More information about our club.
Does the word “saudade” have a meaning?
It is a Portuguese word encompassing a range of complex feelings related to nostalgia and longing, particularly rooted in the experience of sailors and maritime explorers. Its origins lie in the days of Portuguese navigators, and it has evolved into an integral part of Portuguese culture and identity. Although it has no exact translation, its meaning transcends language barriers and connects with the human search for lasting connection and love.
Where is Saudade Sailing Club based?
Our home port is La Marina València Mar, just a few minutes from the city centre: Camino del Canal 91, València.
What are the advantages of joining a sailing club rather than buying a yacht?
Joining a club such as Saudade Sailing Club is a more practical and economical option than buying a yacht. You enjoy all the advantages of sailing without the drawbacks and responsibilities of outright boat ownership.
How does a sailing club differ from a charter?
As a member, you can sail all year round, always using the same boat and feeling as though it is your own. Getting to know the yacht gives you the confidence to manoeuvre calmly and safely.
