Private Sailing Instruction
On Our Boat Or Yours
St. Augustine Sailing offers private sailing lessons for just $125 per hour, providing personalized instruction to help you achieve your specific sailing goals. Whether you’re new to sailing or looking to sharpen your skills, our private sailing lessons are tailored to your unique needs, ensuring a focused and effective learning experience. You have the option to take lessons aboard your own vessel or one of our luxurious sailing yachts, guided by one of our highly experienced USCG licensed captains and instructors.
One of the key benefits of private sailing lessons with St. Augustine Sailing is the ability to customize your session. You simply need to fill out a short form at the bottom of the page, letting us know your preferences and objectives, and we’ll reach out to you to discuss and schedule your lesson. Whether you’re interested in mastering specific sailing techniques, learning safety protocols, or gaining confidence in different weather conditions, our instructors are prepared to help you meet your goals.
Training Couples Together
We specialize in training couples together, creating an environment where you and your partner can learn to sail as a team. Sailing as a couple is a rewarding experience, but it also requires solid communication, coordination, and understanding. Our captains will guide you through the essentials of teamwork on the water, ensuring that both of you can handle the boat confidently and safely. This type of private instruction is ideal for couples who dream of sailing adventures together, whether close to shore or on longer journeys.
For new boat owners, private sailing lessons can be especially beneficial. Many insurance companies require specialized training to meet their coverage requirements, and St. Augustine Sailing is well-equipped to help with this process. Our captains are experienced in providing the necessary training to ensure you meet these requirements, helping you navigate your new responsibilities as a boat owner with ease. With one-on-one instruction, you can gain the skills and knowledge necessary to feel confident at the helm.
If you opt to have your private sailing lessons aboard your own boat, we do ask that you provide a copy of the most recent survey for review by the captain. This ensures that our instructors are familiar with the vessel’s condition and layout, allowing them to deliver the most effective and safe instruction possible. This is especially important for new boat owners who are still becoming acquainted with their vessel’s unique characteristics.
Private Sailing Lesson - Unique Opportunity
Our private sailing lessons offer a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience with a licensed professional who can focus solely on your learning journey. Each session is designed to build your confidence, skill level, and understanding of sailing, whether you’re a novice or an experienced sailor looking to refine specific techniques. Having the flexibility to train on your own boat or on one of our luxury yachts adds to the personalized nature of our lessons, ensuring that the environment fits your preferences.
In addition to one-on-one instruction, our captains can teach specific skills such as docking, anchoring, and navigation, which are critical to becoming a confident sailor. The ability to master these skills at your own pace ensures that you get the most out of every session, without the pressure of a classroom setting.
Whether you’re preparing for your next sailing adventure, looking to meet insurance requirements, or seeking a more personal learning experience with your partner, St. Augustine Sailing is here to support you with expert instruction. Our private sailing lessons are designed to meet your needs, ensuring you leave each lesson with new skills, knowledge, and the confidence to sail independently.
