Marins d'eau douce

Marins d’Eau Douce is a sailing school based at the Eaux-Vives harbour in Geneva, Switzerland. Led by Emmanuel Le Godec, a professional sailing instructor since 2004, the school helps students develop the skills and confidence to sail independently on lakes or at sea. Lessons are tailored to each participant’s goals and take place aboard a Surprise, a sporty coastal-cruising sailboat suited to training, leisure outings and regattas. Sessions last two hours and are led by a qualified instructor.

The school welcomes beginners, sailors looking to improve their technique, and learners preparing for the practical sailing licence examination. It also provides information and study materials for the theory exam. Beyond regular lessons, Marins d’Eau Douce offers gift vouchers, family sailing experiences and opportunities to join events such as the Bol d’Or and local regattas on Lake Geneva. With its central location and personal approach, the school makes sailing accessible for individuals and families seeking instruction or an enjoyable time on the water.
