Group, semi-private or private lessons — which one is right for you?

Camps & practical

Group, semi-private or private lessons — which one is right for you?

The same hours cost very different amounts depending on how many people share the instructor. Here is what you actually get in each format.

Every lesson and camp we run comes in three formats. The teaching is the same; what changes is how much of the instructor is yours, and how quickly you progress.

Group

Up to 4 students per instructor for kitesurf and surf lessons, or a maximum of 3 in a group camp. It is the most affordable option and the most sociable — you learn alongside people at a similar level and there is a natural rhythm of watching, resting and trying. The trade-off is waiting your turn.

Semi-private

Two students per instructor, each with their own equipment in kitesurf. This is the format we recommend most often to couples and friends travelling together. You get roughly double the individual attention of a group without paying private rates, and having someone to share the experience with genuinely helps.

Private

One to one. The fastest way to progress, and the best option if you have limited days, a specific goal, or you simply want the instructor watching every attempt. It is also the right choice for younger children, who benefit from having someone within arm's reach.

A simple way to decide

  • Tight budget, plenty of days: group
  • Travelling as a pair: semi-private
  • Short trip or want the fastest progress: private
  • Child under twelve: private or semi-private

You can mix them

Nothing stops you starting private to get through kite control quickly, then moving to group sessions once you are on the board. Tell us what you want to achieve and we will suggest the split.

Prices for all three formats are listed on each lesson and camp page, so you can compare before you enquire.

Had a great experience with Naneakite! Abdou and Mohammed were great teachers. All the staff at their shop were very welcoming. This made for a great vacation in Essaouira. These guys are top notch and were cheaper than everyone else in the area with their riad deal. I did the 12 hour lesson package and I learned a lot about kiting. They were very transparent with me and helped me progress quickly. Thanks Naneakite!

Thank you NaneaKite for this great Kite-experience! I stayed for a week and I had alot of fun. The team is very friendly and professional. I learned so much from Mohammed, a patient and experienced teacher. Abdou wants everyone to have a great time and took us on a surfing trip when there was no wind for kiting. Thanks for everything, see you next time!

I wanted to surprise my boyfriend for his birthday with semi-private kitesurfing lessons, so we actually organised our trip to Morocco around it. My requirements were for the two of us to be together during our classes, but each have our own kite, and for the instructors to be certified and speak English. NaneaKite did not disappoint! We took 8 hours of lessons each and the progress we made was amazing. I had been in constant communication with Abdou, the owner, for months before our trip. He was always kind and reassuring, and kept me updated on the weather and kitesurfing conditions in Essaouira, which made planning everything so much easier. Our instructor, Mohammed, was amazing as well. He explained everything clearly from scratch, paid close attention to what we were doing, and corrected us whenever we made mistakes so that we could progress faster. We are so happy we chose NaneaKite and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to learn kitesurfing in Essaouira!

The coach Elias was such a very respectful, kind and polite guy & passionate about what he’s doing. He never left the water and stayed the whole session supporting and making sure we’re doing the right moves.
