At MANTA Sail Training Centre in Mui Ne, Julia, Phung, Bau, and the team teach private sailing lessons using supplied boats and equipment. Most beginners need 2 to 4 morning sessions, about 5 to 6 hours total, to feel confident sailing alone. Your visit also supports local fishing families and ocean projects.

“Top notch experience! A gracious and welcoming staff, high quality boats and gear, excellent teaching and sail handling and fun location make Manta a 10/10 adventure. Phùng is a great captain, sailor and teacher- don’t miss this opportunity in Mũi Né, Vietnam!”
