Interested in taking sailing lessons in Houston? Maybe you think you can teach yourself on a friend’s small boat, but it’s far better to get proper lessons from a sailing school like Windward SeaVenture. Our lessons provide you with expert instruction, a bigger boat to learn on, and an excellent learning environment free of obstacles and distraction.
Beginner’s welcome
If you are beginner wondering if sailing is the right hobby for you, Windward SeaVenture’s “Intro to Sailing” course is the perfect place to start. This introductory three-hour course on one of our 22-feet sailboats is the ideal way to get a taste of what sailing entails without investing too much time or money in certified classes. By the end of the course, you’ll know the basics of sailboat operation, and we’re sure you’ll be back for more. Or, if you already know sailing is for you, just jump straight into our two-day ASA 101: Basic Keelboat study program that has no prerequisites.
ASA-certified classes
If you are serious about learning to sail at an advanced level, you want to make sure you are taking certified classes that will reflect the experience you’ve gained and allow you to present yourself as qualified to others. Windward SeaVenture offers a wide variety of classes that are certified by the American Sailing Association (ASA), which has been certifying premier sailing schools in the United States for over three decades.
Advanced topics covered
Maybe you want to learn enough to be able to maneuver a small boat on the waters of Clear Lake now and again, or you could have much greater ambitions. The sailing school at Windward SeaVenture will take you as far as you want to go, from basic keelboat classes to in-depth instruction on coastal navigation, bareboat chartering, cruising catamarans, and docking endorsement. To become an all-around expert, enroll in the marine diesel engine maintenance class.
Charter discounts for graduates
Once you are qualified to captain your vessel, then it’s time to start chartering a boat. The great thing about chartering is that it’s like owning a boat when you want one, without all the trouble of actually owning and maintaining one. An added benefit is that you get to try out different boats as you wish. As a valued graduate of our sailing school, we’ll gladly extend you a discount when you charter from us.
