NERINGA
Sailing and Boat trips
The Curonian Lagoon and the Baltic Sea offer excellent sailing conditions in the Kursiu Nerija National Park.
Yacht-clubs in Smiltyne and Nida welcome sailors from many different countries. The only condition for them is to pass the passport control and customs by entering through the Klaipeda Channel. Clear and visible signs show the way to these offices.
The yacht-club in Smiltyne provides a harbour for yachts of different size. There is a WC, shower, cafe and hotel, which is owned by the yacht-club. Fresh water for refill is available. Charges for harbouring vary during the season. The yacht-club in Nida welcome quests also. There is WC and shower. Travellers can have meals in Nida's restaurants and cafes, and stay overnight in one of hotels there. The passage way from Smiltyne to Nida is marked with common signs.
It is possible to rent a yacht with a crew in both Smiltyne and Nida yacht-clubs. Entertainment trips to the Curonian Lagoon are also organised.
Each season sailors can take part in regattas, which the yacht-clubs organise. These competitions attract participants and spectators from both Lithuania and abroad.
Sea catamaran rally “The Team Spirit”
Catamaran rally at sea - it is a great opportunity to experience what can only be achieved by a team and never individually.
The participants of the rally will hit a GPS marked distance through the Baltic Sea waves pulling oars in professional nine-seated Zebec mountain river catamarans. First they will get instructions about catamaran handling and safety in the sea. Then they will compete unpacking and setting the catamarans together and finally get in action hitting the Baltic sea waves and coming back as fast as possible.
For those who enjoy extreme entertainment we propose crossing the Curonian Lagoon on a catamaran on any weather conditions. The crew will hear a briefing about orientation in open waters, safety and dangers in the water and rescue techniques. They will get navigation equipment and will go under observation of a motor boat.
For corporate days we propose a sparky catamaran rally across the Lagoon. The crews in turn will cover the distance under the observation of a big boat in which other crew members will make banners and loudly support their team.
