Your two hour classroom session on the first morning of your class
will be followed by 22 hours of hands on boat handling with three
other students on a 30' cruising sailboat. See Sailing's article,
Here's Proof, describing
our Sailing Charter Certification Course.
Your instructor will demonstrate, and you will immediately practice the techniques you just learned
in class. Check out a Sample Lesson by one of our
instructors.
Evenings are available to entertain yourself, tour the waterfront, and make new friends
among your fellow students. Upon successful completion, you will be certified to charter AT A
DISCOUNT from any one of our charter fleet locations and our recent affiliate,
Sunsail.
