I started Learn to Sail San Diego® 18 years ago, and have taught hundreds of friends and families to sail. We are located at the Cabrillo Isle marina, next to the Sheraton Harbor Island Resort and Marina, which offers you many amenities during your stay. I’ve been privileged to receive Outstanding Instructor awards for 10 of the last 18 years, thanks to reviews and feedback from my students. San Diego offers perfect sailing conditions any time of year.
We offer live aboard and learn to sail courses in beautiful San Diego. All of our classes are private, so only you and your friends or family will be on board our brand new, 2017 Beneteau Oceanus 37.
