Nowadays you can not be afraid even because of the lack of skills or the yacht itself. In modern Moscow clubs you will not only be taught how to manage, but they will also provide you with everything you need, including the vessel for rent. If you don’t want to take the helm, but just want to take a walk along the Moscow River, almost every yacht club offers such an opportunity, and the number of people on board varies from 2 to 35.
