Sailing Courses

Sail With Us!

As a community sailing program, one of our goals is to create accessible opportunities for individuals to get out on the water. We do this through group outing programs and through guided sails and courses.

We offer two U.S. Sailing Courses: First Sails, a fun, informal 2-hour sail to test the waters and Learn to Sail a weekend-long course where you can train, study, and be guided through the process to earn your Keelboat Certification.

Group Outings

Sailing is a transformational experience. Whether you’re looking for a 3 hour team-building experience or a week-long overnight, we can craft a program to suit your needs. We have programs available on both our Harbor 20s and on Schooner Virginia.  

Corporate Retreats

Your team will be led by our highly qualified instructors as they develop leadership skills and set sail to expand comfort zones and build comradery.
