ISSA-certified sailing school and yacht charter based in Costa Adeje, Tenerife. Courses in English, Spanish, Polish and Russian. Training on the real Atlantic Ocean.
Marcin has called Tenerife home since 2010 — long enough to know every current, every bay, and every mood the Atlantic can offer. Born in Poland, he has spent his career on the water: a certified ISSA Offshore Skipper and sailing instructor with routes spanning the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.
His approach on deck is what students remember most: patient, precise, and genuinely invested in each person's progress. Whether you've never touched a helm or want to sharpen your offshore skills, Marcin finds the right way to teach — for you specifically.
Good Skipper was founded with one goal: to give students real offshore sailing experience — not just harbour practice — and to do it with individual attention, proper preparation and genuine passion for the sea.
We operate from Puerto Colón marina in Costa Adeje, one of the best-positioned harbours in the Canary Islands for reaching open water quickly. You sail on the Atlantic from day one, in conditions that build confidence that lasts.
Courses are small by design — so every student gets personal instruction, not a lecture. Flexible scheduling means the course fits around your stay in Tenerife, not the other way around.
Tenerife isn't just a holiday destination. For sailing training, it's one of the best places in Europe.
The Canary Islands sit in one of the sunniest and most stable climate zones on Earth. Training runs year-round with minimal cancellations.
Puerto Colón opens directly to the Atlantic. Within 20 minutes you're offshore in genuine open-water conditions — swells, wind and all.
The waters off Costa Adeje are home to resident pilot whales, bottlenose dolphins and sea turtles. Encounters during training are common.
The ISSA Offshore Skipper you earn here is valid in Croatia, Greece, the Caribbean and 100+ countries — so the training has real global value.
Direct flights to Tenerife South (TFS) from across Europe. A 3–4 hour flight from most European capitals. Year-round connections.
Combine the course with a Tenerife holiday. Warm weather, great food and a world-class beach resort — training never felt so good.
