WHO ARE WE?

FUNTASTIC

Funtastic is a water sports centre that has been operating in L’Escala, Girona, since 1978. The centre is a base for officially approved water skiing and sailing schools covering all disciplines. The schools offer water skiing, wakeboarding, windsurfing, catamaran sailing and dinghy sailing courses.

Funtastic is also an RS test centre where you can test several models in the range of RS Saili, the famous British sailboat builders, or the fabulous Weta 4.4 Trimaran, among others. What’s more, we offer other activities such as SUP (stand-up paddleboarding), kayaking, Ski-Bus rides, Ringo rides and the rental of motorboats without a licence. Last of all, we have a sheltered buoy field where you can moor your boat or jet ski.
