At Sea Safaris Sailing School, We prepare our students on how to become safe sailors by learning basic skills and best practices on the water. All of our fun filler courses start with the basics and elevate your skills to the next level. We believe learning is a continuum as many students start with basic sailing and keep improving to learn more advanced skills such as coastal navigation, celestial navigation, and marine weather. Sea Safaris Sailing School instructors are all certified to teach American Sailing Association courses which upon successful completion, offer students certification. Sea Safaris Sailing School also offers refresher, tutored, or custom instruction for individuals or families to improve their sailing skills.
