Dear Offshore Sailing School Graduate,
Thank you for choosing Offshore Sailing School for your sailing or power education. We truly appreciate your business and hope you will come back to join us again soon. In the meantime, here are some great benefits just for you!
We are asked frequently where someone, especially graduates of ours, may purchase Offshore Sailing School merchandise. Since we are no longer in the retail merchandise business, we’ve partnered with Lands’ End and have a storefront on their website so you may purchase merchandise with our Offshore Sailing logo. Visit the online store here.
Keep us in mind when you have a sailing experience you’d like to share. Send us your stories, photos and videos. If you haven’t already, please share your experience on our social media outlets: Facebook, Twitter, Trip Advisor, Yelp, YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram.
Thanks so much for choosing Offshore!
Steve and Doris Colgate

We’re feeling like locals in the BVI and visit with Dutch and Patrick (Ed. note: Offshore Sailing School instructors) each time we go.
