Test the Waters with Intro to Sailing

Sailing involves both specific knowledge and skills. Intro to Sailing courses offer a great way to learn about sailing for fun.  Additionally, it helps in determining whether you wish to pursue more advanced levels of sailing instruction. Our captains/instructors provide our Intro to Sailing beginner sailors the perfect opportunity to test the waters, and learn the ropes, and hoist the sails, and handle the tiller!
