Learn in the warm waters of "Florida's Tahiti"
Never sailed? Feeling rusty? Want to reinforce small boat sailing skills? The Learn to Sail course takes you from never sailed through the intermediate level. The Performance Sailing course is your ticket to competitive sailing fun. Both course schedules are the same so friends and family traveling together can share free time when not on the water.
Plan to arrive Sunday and depart for home the following Friday after your inspiring test sail without the instructor aboard. You will be amazed at how much you learn.
Each day starts with a classroom reinforcing everything you'll cover on the water. You'll sail half a day each day with no more than three other students and your instructor aboard. During these fast-paced hands-on sessions you rotate positions and learn the whys, not just the hows of handling a high performance sailboat with finesse. Then enjoy the rest of the day, relaxing and participating in all there is to do at this fabulous Florida playground.
Per person package rates
April and May dates are $1445 double occupancy, $1895 single occupancy. You may deduct $100 from your package and we will also donate $200 to LLS instead of the $25 per tuition mentioned above.
Double occupancy is for two people taking the course together and sharing a room; single occupancy is for a private room and one spot in the course. If you are bringing a friend or loved one who is not taking the course, you pay the single rate for the two of you with no extra charge for the second person sharing your room (not enrolled in a course). Villas with one to three bedrooms are also available for larger parties.

Tennis, jogging trails, fishing, golf, kayaking, golf, exploring nearby Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge, relaxing by gorgeous pools, bicycling, miles of sandy shell-strewn beaches, and a whole lot more!
