The Centro Velico Caprera does not organize group trips but points out the existence of a Facebook Page dedicated to arrivals and departures so that participants can make the best travel arrangements.

By car it is not recommended to get to the Base

Access is allowed only as far as the gate to the Precruise dock, from there you wait for other students to arrive by ferry from La Maddalena. For the duration of the course you will have no opportunity to use it. For those arriving by car it is recommended to leave it in Palau.

The base has 3 settlements on the south coast of the island:

• Punta Coda where drift initiation courses usually stay (separate women's and men's dorms)
• Perfection, where they usually house other drift or cabin cruisers (mixed huts)
• Pre-cruise, where the Cabin courses (mixed huts) usually stay.

Punta Coda has a CVC infirmary.

Upon disembarkation from the ferry, students from each course are assembled and assigned their places in the dormitories. You will take possession of your berth, dressed appropriately for the swimming and sculling test (drift initiation courses) or for the activity on the boats. You will then be assembled in the classroom to receive instruction from the Chief of Instructors (Shift Leader) and base staff.
There are individual safety boxes in the Punta Coda Initiation settlement. You will be given a key upon deposit of 50 Euro. In the other settlements there are collective safes. The School is not liable for theft of items left unattended. Avoid bringing valuables or excessive amounts of money.

1. The CVC Foundation - Centro Velico Caprera ETS Centro Velico Caprera is a sailing and sea school, not a vacation center: attendance at courses requires commitment, discipline, spirit of adaptation and acceptance of behavioral norms, as well as the evaluations made by the School itself with regard to the suitability of each student to attend the required courses. The same attendance requires, in addition, adequate mental, physical and health conditions, as certified by the attending physician.
   It is acknowledged that the actions of the CVC Foundation are guided by the following principles and that attendance at its courses requires timely compliance with them: respect for the person, understood as the equal right and value of the individual without distinction of creed, gender or social condition; respect for and protection of the environment in particular the habitat surrounding our center; solidarity aimed at cooperation and mutual support among individuals, generating a sense of belonging to a large supportive community, as better specified in the Charter of Values and Code of Ethics to which reference is made and which must be respected.
2. Access to the Bases is restricted only to those who are teachers or students in an ongoing course. No cars (which must remain outside the gate) or motorcycles, or dogs or other animals are allowed. Allocation of each course to one of the CVC Bases is at the discretion of the CVC itself, by virtue of non-discussable reasons of an organizational and safety nature for participants. Arrivals and departures must take place strictly according to the scheduled dates and times (use of collective means is recommended). No responsibility is assumed by the Center with reference to travel to and from the Caprera base.
3. Absence, even temporarily, from the Base is not permitted except for justified reasons and with the permission of the Base Chief. Visits from relatives or friends are not allowed unless expressly authorized by the Base Chief.
4. Tidiness and cleanliness, which are essential in a community life, cover not only one's person and personal belongings, but also the dormitories, common rooms and facilities, the surroundings, and the equipment and facilities on the Base.
   Vital to the School is the care of the vessels and materials.
5. Sleeping after a busy and tiring day is a sacred right, so all noise in the vicinity of dormitories must cease at quiet time. Baby radios, iPods or the like are not welcome and their use is prohibited in common rooms. Cell phones are also to be used discreetly, and they are to be turned off during communal activities in any case.
6. In courses with dormitory housing, students may not attend dormitories reserved for female students and vice versa.
7. Safety is a dominant theme in education both at sea and on land: from the obligation to wear a life jacket and, where provided, a protective helmet, to rescue and firefighting equipment. Everyone contributes to the work of prevention, to avoid damage to people and equipment. The obligation to observe the rules dictated by current regulations and the directives issued remains in place.
8. The Base Chief has the authority to remove from the Base any student who proves to be unfit for the community life of the school or who has been guilty of serious misconduct, including with regard to the principles and values set forth in Section 1 above.
9. Use of the boats is permitted for the School's institutional activities. Any other use must be authorized by the Base Chief.
10. The CVC reserves the right to take any measures, including sanitary measures, that it deems appropriate or necessary, in compliance with or as a result of legislative and/or regulatory provisions to gain access to the base and to attend courses.
11. The regulations referred to in the preceding points are intended to be subject to national and regional regulations on measures, including behavioral and individual protection measures, aimed at countering the spread of COVID-19, as well as those set forth in the document "Behavioral Standards Emergency Covid" that can be consulted AT THIS LINK, to be considered a substantial part of these Living Standards.

In addition to personal telephones, to get in touch with students, from May to October, you can call the Secretariat in La Maddalena (tel. 0789/738529). Cell phones are not allowed to be used on the boat or during lessons ashore. Their use is allowed only during free moments.

All trainees participate in communal activities (distributing meals, cleaning the mess, dormitories and facilities, helping in the sail room and on the dinghies). This will help to acquire the mindset of living together on a boat where the whole crew contributes to the activities on board. For one day, in the weekly courses, or two days, in the fortnightly courses, each student is employed in the "command".

The CVC commissary is at Punta Coda and Precruise and is open daily (including Sundays). Hours: Punta Coda 12:30-1 p.m. 6:45-8 p.m. (Saturday 10:30 a.m.-1 p.m.). Pre-cruise: 6:45-8 p.m. (Saturday 9:30-11 a.m.). At the commissary you can pay with cash, ATM or credit cards.

The CVC is organized to follow the diet of people with celiac disease or severe food allergies (reported to the Secretariat before the start of the course).
In the case of food preferences, on the other hand, there may not be a dedicated meal, but one may choose the food genre, from those available, compatible with the intolerance as long as it is promptly reported and documented at the time of registration.

It is recommended to bring your personal ASL card. There is an infirmary on Caprera.
In case it is necessary to transfer to a hospital in La Maddalena or Olbia, the student will have to pay for the means to return to the Base.

The last morning of your stay in Caprera is devoted to tidying up the boats, sails, dormitories and the last bureaucratic formalities, including filling out the QUESTIONNAIRE where you can express your liking for the school's activities and suggestions for improving them: we value your opinion! After filling out the questionnaire, you will need to pack your bags.

Students are brought back to La Maddalena around noon by motorboat (before May 1 and after October 31 the motorboat will be replaced by a bus). From La Maddalena you can take a ferry to Palau and from Palau the regular bus to Olbia. We recommend booking a flight or ferry departing from Olbia from 6 p.m. onward.
