Two-Day Learn to Sail Getaway

Find out why sailors have more fun

Sailing is exhilarating and peaceful. It gives you freedom and opens a world of new travel opportunities. This two-day getaway gets you started in the basics of sailing with some time to relax on your own – a great way to learn about sailing if you don't have enough time to take a full Certification course or aren't quite sure this terrific lifestyle is for you.

Choose any two days you like and learn at a great resort!

Join us at one of our southwest Florida destinations – South Seas Island Resort on Captiva Island or Pink Shell Beach Resort and Spa on Ft. Myers Beach. You'll enjoy eight hours of hands-on learning on a sleek Colgate 26 over two days (with half-days free to enjoy other activities at the resort). Jogging, shelling, kayaking, bicycling, fishing, tennis, golf and a whole lot are available right outside your hotel room door. Topped by beautiful sandy beaches and wonderul pools at waters edge, you won't find learning and relaxing better than this.

If you like we can do the sailing all in one day and leave a full day free. Along with safety procedures, you'll learn a lot about sailing daysailers and (we hope) decide to pursue the sailing lifetsyle. Here's what you'll cover with an expert Offshore Sailing School instructor on your two-day getaway:

• How to leave a dock and bring the boat back in
• How to make a sailboat go where you want it to go
• How to steer and be part of the crew
• How to find wind direction and trim sails to use that wind
• How to tie some of the most used knots
