OFFSHORE SAILING SCHOOL GRADS SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES
Offshore Sailing School grads send us lots of comments and photos. Here’s just one of many that will inspire you to join the sailing lifestyle . . .
I took the Fast Track to Cruising course with my 19 year old son. We learned so much and feel so confident and excited to take our family out on a charter. It was probably the most memorable, exciting trip we have ever taken. It is a great investment into our family’s future vacationing and lifetime of learning to sail. All of the instructors we had were super knowledgeable, easy going and friendly and made the course very educational and enjoyable.
