In addition to group learn-to-sail lessons, we offer private sailing instruction for adults and youth on dinghies (420 or RS Visions) and keelboats. Private lessons are conducted by experienced instructors, and can be scheduled seven days a week, June to September. We can accommodate any skill level, from brand-new sailors to experienced racers wanting to hone their skills.

We recommend the dinghy private lesson if you consider yourself to be relatively active and comfortable around water. The lesson is taught with up to four students, who will be two (or one) to a boat. For a one-on-one private lesson, the instructor will accompany you in a double-handed boat. For a semi-private (two-person) lesson, both students will be in the boat while the instructor is in a coach boat right next to you.

We recommend the keelboat private lesson if you'd like a more laid-back experience. This is the course to take if you are planning on buying a keelboat of your own. The larger keelboat we teach on is more stable than a dinghy, and there is no requirement to enter the water. The lesson is taught with up to five students and one instructor, all on the same keelboat.

Lessons start June 1st and run until the end of September.
