Wanting to learn the Basics of Crewing?
Our sailing lessons are based around half day / 4 hour sessions.
Participants can then choose sessions that fit around budget and time restraints. Our fee for a standard 4 hour session is $95.00 per participant. We have learned that half day sessions are best, participants don't get overloaded with information, or worn-out from being onboard a yacht all day.
The 'Day Sailor' is a less expensive yacht because it doesn't feature all the extras that go with an overnight cruising yacht. Therefore we don't need as many participants to cover the costs. With smaller class sizes, 2 to 3 maximum, every participant has a task to do / learn.
Participants start with an Introduction to Sailing, if they like the experience and want to go to the next step, we offer Basic Level 1 and followed by Basic Level 2. This is the basis for recreational sailing where participants are able to help with sailing a yacht and are certainly 'on the road' to independently sailing a yacht.
The next level involves training for social Yacht Club racing.
We operate all year wind and weather conditions depending. Our sailing lessons are conducted on Saturdays and Sundays. During daylight savings we conduct morning sessions starting at 09:00 am and afternoon sessions starting at 2:00 pm. Outside Daylight savings, we start 1 hour earlier
