At iYachtClub, we also offer additional activities such as: snorkeling, scuba diving, tarpon fishing, swimming, and onshore exploration. You will sail to locations that have the activities you want. Our local expertise gives an advantage in catering these locations to your unique desires and personality. If you check out our previous guests’ reviews, you will find that we excel in customizing trips for various scenarios.

You can take courses ranging from beginner to advanced. These courses start at ASA 101 level, where you would learn the basic terminology while sailing during the day with light winds. We offer more advanced certifications, where you will spend a week advancing from the basic ASA 101 certification, to advanced sailing where you learn to sail in winds that are up to 30 knots during sea conditions.

With the variety in sailing certifications, your vacation can range from a calmer journey to a more realistic sailing experience all depending on what you are comfortable with. This variety allows you to gain confidence, experience, and knowledge all at your own pace.
