Youth from all over the City of Boston and beyond sail at Courageous! The
majority of sailors come from the Greater Boston Area, North Shore, South
Shore, while a handful come even further to sail with us! Who knows who you
might end up in a boat with this summer!
Most of the instructors who will be joining you in your class began to sail
at Courageous just like you. They, too, come from all different
neighborhoods in and around Boston and, by now, know the harbor like the
back of their hands!
Other instructors come to Courageous from all over the country and even all
over the world. We've had instructors join us from Ireland, Scotland, and
even Italy! Many of our older instructors have sailed boats in the
Caribbean, Mexico, off the coast of Cananda, the Mediterranean, and all over
the world!
These instructors are chosen to insure that every student will learn new
things, stay safe, and have a great experience at the Courageous Sailing Center!
