Our Instructors 

DJ and King Cabarles

They are heirs to the proud sailing legacy of their hometown, the boating hub of Puerto Galera. Their father Jojo Cabarles, a decorated member of the Puerto Galera Yacht Club, founded sail training centers in the diver’s paradise of Boquete Island as well as in Hacsa, Macau. Following their father’s footsteps, DJ and King likewise became proficient sailors and even represented the Philippines in past sailing regattas. DJ is a licensed boat captain and serves as the company’s resident sailing coach.

What Is Europa Yachts Philippines?

Europa Yachts Philippines is a premier distributor of vessels from some of Europe’s most illustrious names in the boatbuilding industry. These include watercrafts from Groupe Bénéteau, the renowned French boating conglomerate; Lagoon, the world’s number one catamaran maker; and Azimut Yachts, a global leader in super yachts.

Of the same mind as their friends at the Subic Sailing Club, the leaders of Europa Yachts believe that sailing is a sport in which Filipinos can excel and be among the best in the world. As a way of supporting the advocacy of the Subic Sailing Club, they are providing the Europa Sailing School with one of the most important hardware to be used by its students: the boats for sailing instruction.

The Boat: Bénéteau First 14

Designed by renowned naval architect Sam Manuard, the Bénéteau First 14 places emphasis on both design and ergonomics, as well as on speed and stability. She is a joy to sail solo or two-handed, making her an ideal vessel to introduce anyone to the sublime pleasures of sailing.

While this dinghy can fly with her carbon mast and self-tacking jib, there’s no need to feel intimidated. She is incredibly simple, comfortable and clutter-free—just what beginner sailors need for their first sailing lesson. Sure enough, the Bénéteau First 14 is also highly adaptable to sailing skills of all levels. As such, her performance specs are a definite bonus for more advanced sailors.
