SailTime
Hi, and Welcome to SailTime Detroit and Seahawk Sailing School. I'm Jim Kaza and I'd like to invite you to make your sailing dreams come true.
 
I'm happy to announche that we're now serving Michgan and Ohio. Besides operating on Lake St. Clair, last year we opened up our base on Lake Erie out of Toledo Beach Marina.  We're just off of I-75, Exit 9, about 10 minutes North of Toledo.  Besides great sailing on Lake Erie, Toledo Beach has a great restaurant, convenient bath house and an outdoor pool.  Not a bad way to spend the day.
 
Interested in sailing?  Come on down to one of our Open Houses.  On Sunday, May 13, from 10 AM to 4 PM, we'll be at Toledo Beach Marina, just off of I-75, Exit 9. On Saturday, May 19.  We're at the Shore Club Marina, located in St. Clair Shores off of Jefferson Avenue, just South of 9 Mile.  The Nautical Mile Open House and Fun Day runs from 10 AM to
4 PM.  Stop by and say hello and receive a free copy of ASA's "Sailing Made Easy".
 
Stop Dreaming - Start Sailing!!!  On its own, sailing is great, but for me the best thing about sailing is having other people enjoy it with you. And now with SailTime, it's affordable and hassle free. If you'd like to spend time out on the lake with your family or friends, but you don't want the expense or work, or you don't have the time to take care of a boat, give me a call. You'll enjoy a newer Hunter sailboat, with all of the goodies, just as if you own it, but without any of the upkeep.
 
Like to sail on Lake Erie?  Operating out of Toledo Beach Marina (toledobeachmarina.com), our Members now have easy access to Put-n-Bay, the Lake Erie Islands, and Cedar Point.
 
What are you waiting for? Don't let this Summer pass you by. Use the form below to get more information, or give me a call at 586-838-8714, and let's talk about how you can get out on the water.

Tired of this economy yet? We are, so we've developed our own stimulus plan. We've rolled back our monthly Membership fee to what they it was in 2006. That's right, we've reduced our monthly Membership fee from $495 to $425. That's a savings of $840. And if you become a SailTime Member before the end of May, we'll include the ASA 101 Basic Keelboat certification at no charge. That brings your total savings to nearly $1,300.

 Don't let another summer pass you by. Why spend your summer wishing you were sailing when you could be out there on the lake.  Give me a call at 586-838-8714 and let's make your sailing dreams come true.

Your boat is waiting for you.

ASA

Learn sailing and boating skills in Detroit

SailTime Detroit is an ASA Certified training facility

 

Training 


At SailTime Detroit, we understand your dreams of captaining your own boat and sailing to incredible places like the Caribbean, the South Pacific or the Mediterranean.

To help make your dreams a reality, SailTime created �Novice to Captain� - a comprehensive, American Sailing Association ("ASA") based learn-to-sail program that combines the internationally-recognized ASA certification with the benefits of our SailTime "Novice to Captain" training program. 

Additionally, SailTime Detroit operates the Seahawk Sailing School (www.seahawksailingschool.com), an ASA certified training facility, located in Port Sanilac. Unlike other schools, our students have the option of taking their training far from the noise and stress of urban locations, offering a peaceful and quiet setting in which to practice and gain confidence in their new sailing skills.

Our entry level, ASA 101 "Basic Keelboat" course starts your sailing experience on our Catalina 25, giving you the feel and experience of tiller and rudder sailing. As you move through the more advanced courses, Basic Coastal Cruising, and Bareboat Charter, we move you to larger boats and introduce you to wheeled-steering, navigation, and cruising readiness. And as a SailTime Detroit member, you'll be able to practice and hone your skills on our luxurious Hunter 33s that features both furling jib and main, as well as dockside air conditioning and heat.

If you are interested in learning how to sail, sharpening your skills, or expanding your credentials, please take a few moments and visit our Sea Hawk Sailing School website at www.seahawksailingschool.com.
