We take competence and safety seriously. If you want to be a safe, skilled, and knowledgeable skipper on a small keelboat (18 – 25ft) when leading your friends and family on any sailing excursion, then you need to be fully competent.

We start you out with a comprehensive online theory training Skipper Small Keelboat course with NauticEd. Then we get you out on the water with the wind in your face and helm in your hands. All the while we give you the skills you need to be a confident and competent sailor.

Pricing: Pricing ranges for our courses from $500 to $1000 depending on your goals and desires, if you want private or combined lessons, and your previous experience. Our philosophy is to work with all of our students to ensure competence is gained rather than perform a one size fits all, factory training. In the world of sailing training, you certainly get what you pay for.
