Private Sailing Lessons & Certifications
Combines Comprehensive On-Line Learning with Private On-The-Water Sailing Lessons
Private Lessons Curated To Your Level and Goals
The typical weekend sailing course has you sitting in a classroom for 50% of the time. The other 50% you’re on the water, taking what you just heard and applying it so you can pass on Sunday. You’re on board with people at different levels of skill and confidence, and teaching is always directed at the lowest level learner.
The business model of modern sailing schools is designed to build up dues paying members. Lessons modules are designed to take you on a track of many courses and extra workshops to get you to a basic level of confidence and competency. In addition to monthly dues, you pay a significant rental fee for a boat to finally go sailing by yourself. If you add this all up, you are paying a hefty sum to gain your basic competency.
Why we only do private sailing lessons
We developed our private sailing lesson programs so in the end, you spend half the money and time to get you confident and competent. There are no monthly fees, no classroom time that robs you of valuable on the water training time, and no slowdown in your training from other students who are not where you are at. The focus is on you and the areas you need to learn in greater depth and that are aligned to your boating goal. We start where you are and take you where you want to go in less time and in the end, less money.
