OUR “DISCOVER SAILING” PROGRAM IS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO PREVIOUS SAILING EXPERIENCE BUT WHO WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF THEY LIKE IT BEFORE COMMITTING TO FORMAL SAILING CLASSES.

THESE CLASSES DO NOT OFFER ASA CERTIFICATIONS AND ARE DESIGNED TO EXPOSE THE CANDIDATE STUDENT TO SAILING DURING DAYTIME AND IN AGREEABLE CONDITIONS. OUR EXPERIENCED CAPTAINS WILL EXPLAIN THE WORKINGS OF A SAILING YACHT, SHOW THE BASICS OF SAILING AND LET THE PASSENGER HAVE SOME HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE HANDLING SAILS AND HOLDING THE HELM.

THESE TRIPS ARE NOT PROVISIONED AND STUDENTS SHOULD BRING THEIR FOOD AND BEVERAGES ON BOARD.
