Discover the passion of sailing while preparing yourself for the ‘Sailing Lifestyle’. Not only will you learn to sail almost exclusively in the Atlantic Ocean in front of two uninhabited barrier islands, you will also learn to navigate the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW). Each course has a three student limit allowing you maximum time for fine-tuning your sailing skills.
99% of our sailing is done in the Atlantic to challenge and prepare you for the ever-changing conditions of ocean sailing.
