We are a family business residents in the neighbourhood of El Cabanyal.
Diego, half of the company, has worked for 11 years as a manager in marinas and shipyards. He is familiar with the sea and port business, including the recreational sector. To this he adds his experience as skipper, in the chartering of sailboats and handling of motorboats.
Araceli, the other half, is currently working for International NGOs as project manager and has extensive experience in education and facilitation of meetings, processes or conflict resolution.
We feel close to the sea and have been connected to the port for our hobbies and our jobs. We have experience in the field of navigation and education.
Valencia Sailing District reflects our desire to work close to the sea, sharing what we love: sailing and the life in the Marine District.
Our Values
We understand travel and tourism as a way to get closer to the natural and socio-cultural values of a place. In this case La Marina, the beach, and the Barrio of El Cabanyal.
We are committed to non-intrusive practices with neighbours, sustainable with the marine and urban environment, to working with local suppliers and with strict compliance with current legislation in terms of licenses and labor requirements.
The cost of the activities reflects our intention to offer a quality product, with a minimum occupancy on the boats that allows us to provide personalised attention.
Valencia Sailing District’s activities are open to diversity and we trust that participants will find an inclusive and respectful clima regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, origin, religion or social status.
In our blog we intend to highlight and share the differentiating elements of our neighbourhood and promote the many cultural, sports or social initiatives it offers.
