Sailing adventure in Mikołajki – interesting routes and sailing schools

Mikołajki is an ideal destination for both experienced sailors and those who want to learn how to sail. It is located on the Great Masurian Lakes Trail, which makes it a perfect starting point for longer cruises. One of the popular routes leads from Lake Mikołajskie through Lake Śniardwy to Giżycko. There is nothing to stop you from making a few stops along the way. Stop in a beautiful little cove and take a dip in the clear water. In the evening, moor in one of the marinas and enjoy the unique atmosphere. Beginner sailors can take advantage of the services of numerous schools and instructors. A week-long intensive course will allow you to obtain a yacht sailing licence. This will undoubtedly give you great freedom and allow you to set sail on the open waters without a supervisor.

Sailing season. When is the best time to visit Masuria?

There is no denying that Mikołajki is delightful all year round. There is something for everyone here. Most tourists choose to visit during the summer season, which starts in May and lasts until September. High temperatures, few rainy days and plenty of sunshine create the perfect conditions for sailing. The lakes are bustling with life. Concerts are held in the ports, and the streets are filled with the smell of grilled fish and the sounds of conversations coming from taverns. If you prefer peace and quiet and don't like crowds, plan your stay in May or September. July and August are the peak season. Ideal for those who like hustle and bustle, lavish parties and access to a wide range of attractions. Remember that if you intend to rent water equipment or sign up for a sailing course, you should make a reservation well in advance. Otherwise, you may be unpleasantly disappointed when you find out that there are no more places available at the school. Not a fan of water sports? You won't be bored in Mikołajki in autumn anyway.
