While you're in the region
Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $186 a day this sits near the top of the range, against a $105 median for water & sailing. It is cheaper than 3 of the 24 water & sailing options mapped here.
- Other things to learn in Mexico
- 6 other options in Mexico, starting with spanish survival week in Oaxaca from $350.
- When to go
- Workable across 6 months of the year — Nov-Apr. Outside that the season is against you, not the school.
- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 14 days, but the honest range is 7 to 45. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.

The same question asked four ways — by country, by craft, by what it costs and by how long it takes.
