Noumea is a fantastic destination for sailing. It offers beautiful clear waters, stunning coastline and a great mix of calm and challenging sailing conditions. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced sailor, Noumea has something to offer for everyone.

Albania offers an emerging sailing destination along the Adriatic and Ionian Seas. With moderate winds influenced by the Meltemi, averaging 10-20 knots, it's ideal for intermediate sailors. Navigation requires attention due to less-developed aids, and anchoring skills are essential given limited marina facilities. The best time to sail is from May to September, with warmer temperatures and calmer seas.
