WATER SPORT
Windsurfing
Over the last 14 years we have successfully taught windsurfing to dozens of girls, men, women, kids and even elderly people.
Velipoje beach is Albania’s paradise for learning and practicing windsurfing. The large, protected and well closed bay, and the Vilun lagoon, offer constant flat water throughout the year, excellent for the first steps in windsurfing. The water conditions are complemented by a warm climate which offers neoprene-free windsurfing starting from early March till November, and steady side-shore or onshore winds, ideal for learning windsurfing.
The equipment is light-weight and very user friendly. Beginners can learn the fundamentals in just a few hours as windsurfing rigs are much stable. Younger people love the adrenaline rush of blasting at high speeds, freestyling tricks, or racing in competition. There is nothing to compare with sailing across the water with just your board below your feet.
The best time for windsurfing in Velipoje during the summer season are between 1 pm and 6 pm, a period during which the steady thermal wind blows constantly from west at about 15 knots, with wind gusts often exceeding 30 knots. During the morning easterly winds are calmer, although occasionally they blow easily over 25 knots.
Sailing
Sailing offers something special you could want on your holiday. There’s so much you can see and do, and every sailing session is different. Albania has a magnificent coastline and sailing through the sea is a great way to explore the beautiful landscape, especially in areas where otherwise it is difficult or impossible to travel. Sailors are passionate about their time on the water—buoyed by a sense of empowerment as the wind fills the sails and the boat glides peacefully through the water.
Sailing is a green activity, is wind powered, and is fulfilling for anyone at any age. This is the lifestyle you’ve been dreaming about—to share with family and friends close to home or in magnificent cruising grounds around the world. Whether you’re interested in day sailing, cruising, competitive racing, or charter vacations, there is a sailboat for you and a lifetime of sailing adventures ahead.
At our spot in Velipoje beach we have single hull, small, sportive sailboats – Laser Pico, Funboat, Optimist etc. which are excellent to learn and progress the sailing skills. In Durres bay area and/or in the Southern coast we have larger sailboats capable of holding up to 4-5 persons, which is great for longer rides across the sea. Sailing has the power to change your outlook by spinning you in a new direction with different people and ambitions. It also provides a fresh perspective on how and where you spend your leisure time.
Stand up Paddling
SUP – Stand Up Paddling – is a fun way to explore the nature, and at the same time, exercise your body! And, since you stand at full height on your board, it gives you a unique point for viewing what’s down under the water and out on the horizon. If you enjoy using SUPs, or would like to learn, we offer training sessions and SUP rentals that are suitable for all experience levels. Whether you want to practice your paddling, have a fun group trip, or create an intimate getaway, we’ll help you create your own adventure.
SUP is a superior core workout for cross-training as it brings together legs, back, feet, arms, neck and stomach muscles in a graceful display of core strength and balance. Along with paddling you’ll use lot of different body simply balance around the board, which provides you more exercise than you understand. If you are looking at both aerobic and strength exercise, this is the perfect sport.
From the upright standing position on the SUP you enjoy a full view of the Velipoje coastline, paddling away from the crowded beach and explore natural beauties surrounding the area. Our guests prefer paddling from our spot to the Vilun lagoon (30 minutes ride), explore inside the lagoon, paddle northwest up to the border with Montenegro, tour the Velipoje coastline, visit Rana Hedhun, or, head to the Buna river.
