More than a sailing school, it's a family where we learn to sail and stay on to sail together. The best sailing school you'll ever find.

Hi! Amazing summer school for little ones! They have fun and learn loads!! Lots of activities for adults too, I'd love to try some ;-) and as a family! Brilliant instructors, with the patience little ones really need. I'm also tempted by the Christmas activities, I keep looking at them and fancy them more each time! We'll be back this summer!

Highly recommended. Flexible with times, groups and levels. A fantastic experience with the whole Tatowind team, who helped us enjoy summer in La Manga, windsurfing from the very first lesson.

For two summers now I've booked a week of windsurfing lessons for my wife and me at Tatowind. It's become a summer must for us. They're wonderful!

My 9-year-old son has attended Tatowind sailing school two years running and can't wait to go again. This summer my 5-year-old daughter went too and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere is fantastic and the instructors are professional and friendly. Highly recommended for an educational and fun sailing experience.

Tatowind isn't just a summer sailing school, though it's that too. Once you arrive, you can stay forever. That's what happened to me. Tatowind is with me all year, providing everything I need to windsurf. It's been several years now. Don't hesitate!!! Give Tatowind a try!!!

The activities are perfect. I especially like how they teach you to use the equipment properly so it doesn't get damaged and to respect our surroundings. Thorough activities, unbeatable service... all in all, it's in my diary every summer and I recommend putting it in yours too

Highly qualified instructors, not just in windsurfing but also in teaching and working with children and teenagers. Both Tato and his brother are teachers. His brother was also my windsurfing instructor 25 years ago. Knowing how to windsurf isn't enough. You need to know how to teach.

You can really tell how experienced Tato and all his instructors are. The children's lessons are great fun, combining exercise, learning and enjoyment. This year I also went on a kayak trip and learnt things I didn't know, despite spending every summer in La Manga all my life.

Highly recommended even if you start at level -34, like I did. Both Tato and Javichi focus on building your confidence so you end up catching the wind and sailing. We'll definitely do it again and keep improving
