U.S. Sailing Certification Courses


We teach the entire progression of U.S. Sailing Certification Courses. These sailing lessons are formatted to turn an absolute novice into a competent ocean sailor. If you follow the courses in order, taking your time where necessary to practice and hone certain skills, you will become a competent sailor.

Each 2 to 7 day sailing class in this 6-level progression builds upon the previous course.

Course progression:

Basic Keelboat 1 & 2
Basic Cruising & Bareboat Cruising
Coastal Navigation
Coastal Passage Making
Ocean Passage Making

The U.S. Sailing Association is the national governing body for the sport of sailing in the United States since 1897. U.S. Sailing certified instructors are the top professionals in the field. Their Keelboat training and certification program is the best available in the United States.

Students with existing sailing backgrounds may opt to enter the progression mid-way by taking a challenge exam which consists of a practical and written portion and takes about 3 hours.
