Looking for sailing classes? Learn to sail at our fun-filled sailing school; a place where we take sailing instruction seriously and make each sailing course an exciting adventure.

Your two hour classroom session on the first morning of your sailing class will be followed by 22 hours of hands on boat handling with three other students on a 30' cruising sailboat. See Sailing's article, Here's Proof, describing our Sailing Charter Certification Course.

Your sailing instructor will demonstrate, and you will immediately practice the techniques you just learned in sailing class. Read the Sample Sailing Lesson by one of our instructors below.

Frequently Asked Questions about our Sailing Instruction Course

SAMPLE SAILING CLASS PLAN: Most cruising students expect the bulk of their on-the-water practice will be spent sailing elegantly up and down the bay.

Evenings are available to entertain yourself, tour the waterfront, and make new friends among your fellow students. Upon successful completion, you will be certified to charter worldwide and AT A DISCOUNT at all Sailboats Inc. charter fleet locations and our affiliate, Sunsail.
