Our Courses
We are here to introduce and teach you sailing and cruising, in our sailboats or yours. Learn to sail during our day classes and practice sails, three-day condensed courses, or five-day or more liveaboard courses. We also teach Marine VHF Radio ROC_M(DSC). Soon we will offer Basic and Intermediate Navigation but we can help you arrange to take the course.
Introduction to Sailing
You can start with the 3 to 4 hour Introduction to Sailing/ Boating course where you will learn safety, leaving and returning to the dock. The rest of the time we will be out sailing and you can get a feel for what it is like to sail or just practice up on your long forgotten skills.
