VARDI VELA CYPRUS The sailing school - a club and a warm home for all those who love the sea - was established in 2009.
We live and breathe the sea, in every form – diving, sailing, and surfing. What unites us is our love and respect for the sea and the wind.
At our sailing school, we take pride in passing on the knowledge and experience we have accumulated over the years to our students – the future skippers. Have you ever dreamed of sailing a yacht or navigating a motorized boat? We teach all of this, both in Cyprus and at other destinations.
Upon completing the course, you can enhance your skills through various sailing experiences around the world – from Norway to Thailand and France. Every voyage adds new knowledge and experience.
Additionally, we offer:
Post-course advice and support.
Sailing in flotillas.
Private boat rentals.
Sales of competitive sailing equipment, speed boats, and kayaks.
Join us for an unforgettable experience on the sea!
The ISSA skipper’s license meets the requirements of the UN ICC, which allows yachts to be rented also in the member states of the UN ICC organization.
EREZ VARDI
Owner and initiator of VARDI VELA CYPRUS SCHOOL
The sea has always been a part of me, since my childhood in Shavei Zion. I began competitive sailing, winning numerous competitions, including first place in the 1985 Maccabiah Games. Later, I sailed around the world as a skipper, experiencing the oceans and gaining invaluable sailing experience.
I continued to coach sailors in national and international competitions, and we opened the “North Bay Divers” diving school in Eilat. In 2010, I founded the VARDI VELA Sailing School, where I taught hundreds of responsible skippers.
In 2010, I partnered with ISSA, the International Sailing School Association, to promote the field of sailing. Today, I teach and share my love for sailing through the VARDIVELA CYPRUS Sailing School in Cyprus, where I also fulfilled my dream of sailing across all the world’s oceans.
