No prior experience is necessary! Our program is designed to teach beginners from the ground up.
Basic swimming comfort is recommended, but not strictly required as life jackets are worn at all times on the water.
We monitor weather conditions closely. In case of unsafe conditions, we have indoor activities and sailing theory lessons prepared. We may adjust the schedule to make up on-water time.
We maintain small class sizes with a maximum of 12 students and a 4:1 student-to-instructor ratio.
Students should bring their own lunch and snacks each day.
Parents are welcome to observe from shore during the week and join our spectator boat for Friday's regatta (please reserve a spot).
