Courses, Private Lessons, and Private Charters
Whether it's your first time on a boat or you have years of experience under your belt, when it comes to sailing there's always more to learn. We offer a wide range of courses, led by expert, US Sailing-certified instructors. Classes are kept small (usually no more than three students per instructor) for a highly individualized learning experience. You do not need to be a member to take a course.
The Adult Program 2013 Course Schedule will be posted in early 2013. 12 hour courses tend to follow a consecutive Sat/Sat or Sun/Sun schedule, 10:00-4:30 with half hour lunch breaks. 24 hour courses tend to take place over two consecutive weekends, Sat/Sun/Sat/Sun, 10:00-4:30, with half hour lunch breaks. We are more than happy to try to work something out if your schedule does not match our regularly set courses, whether it is through private lessons or by matching you up with other students.
