The Bono Reserva PER Baleares con Habilitación Vela packages two required at‑sea practices into a continuous 48‑hour passagemaking exercise: an optional sail‑handling practice to add sailing privileges and a passage practice that qualifies the holder to navigate between the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands. Runs are offered as travesía, typically from Friday through Sunday, and the voucher is valid for 12 months for personal use or as a gift.

THE TRAINING

Two complementary practices in one 48‑hour passage

The bono reserves a ‘práctica conjunta’ that bundles a navegación a vela (sailing practice) and a navegación entre la Península y Baleares (passage practice), giving PER holders the on‑water hours to expand their title’s attributions during a single continuous 48‑hour travesía.

THE ROUTE

Multiple departure ports along Spain’s eastern and northern coasts

Organized departures are offered from a set of habitual ports—including Denia, Bayona, Mazarrón and Valencia—so you can choose the embarkation point that best fits your schedule and travel plans.

THE VALIDITY

Flexible voucher for a year

The bono is valid for 12 months and can be used to book any available Práctica conjunta PER Baleares con Habilitación Vela offered at the time of reservation, making it convenient as a gift or for flexible scheduling.

What the day feels like

What the 48‑hour passage feels like

Expect a compact, immersive seamanship sprint: two consecutive days at sea spent under instruction and on watch, practicing sail handling and open‑sea navigation as you perform a continuous travesía. The format concentrates supervised, assessment‑oriented hours into a single passage so candidates can log the specific competencies needed to extend PER privileges.
