Orza Minore was founded in 1990 by a group of non-professional sailors who wanted to spread their passion and interest in sailing. As of today it is one of the leading sailing schools and charter companies in Italy. During 19 years of activity we opened our nautical bases in areas of distinctive beauty of landscape and nature, keeping in mind a key element: the wind.

Our staff counts on high expertise, participating in many boat races in the Mediterranean Sea, in the Atlantic ocean and on Italian Lakes. The association has a fleet of 39 boats, from bare boat to cabin charter, and this gives us various options to rent a crewed or bare boat, or to use them for our sailing classes, available for children over 9 years old. Furthermore, you can also stay in our bases and simply enjoy the famous and delicious Italian cuisine.Our staff numbers 150 sailing instructors who are highly qualified and can help you discover all the aspects of the sailing world,from the first short sail to longer coastal passages.

Our nautical bases of Porto Venere in Liguria, Porto Pollo in Sardinia and Dervio on Lake Como offer a starting point to discover the beauty of Italian seas, coasts and lakes. Come and enjoy your sailing experience in Italy with us!
