The Newport Beach Sailing School has won the award for the Outstanding Sailing School of the Year several times. Several of our captains have won the Outstanding Sailing Instructor of the Year award. We never put more than 2 people in a sailing course unless it is a family course. We have the friendliest and most knowledge team of US Coast Guard Captains. We have the newest and cleanest fleet of sailboats. Newport Beach is a beautiful place to learn to sail with pleasant weather 12 months a year.
The Newport Beach Sailing School is unique in that we specialize in private and semi-private sailing instruction off the coast of Southern California. Our motto is ‘The best value in private sailing lessons.’ We are dedicated to providing highly personalized instruction, and the classes are scheduled according to your availability. We train on beautiful, coastal cruising sailboats built in 2005 or later, which means that you are learning on boats with some of the most cutting edge design, electronics, and instrumentation.
