FAMILY FAST TRACK TO CRUISING®

This seven-day adventure combines a fast-paced Learn to Sail course with your choice of a Bareboat Cruising Preparation or Live Aboard Cruising course. The first two days you’ll learn on a Colgate 26 while staying ashore, then start your cruising course – continuing to stay ashore if doing Bareboat Cruising Preparation – or sailing away in on your private yacht with your instructor on the Live Aboard Cruising course. You may take Fast Track to Cruising at two Florida resorts (Captiva Island and Ft. Myers Beach), in the British Virgin Islands, and New Jersey. Please see each course above for more details and click here to see what you learn in these courses.
