Sailing INSTRUCTION

Learn to Sail With SailTime!

Unparalleled Excellence

SailTime University

We motivate students to enjoy their experience in a safe, productive and comfortable environment, but most importantly, we want everyone to have FUN!

The beginning course is designed to prepare a student for day sailing on a boat powered only by the wind. As students progress through the classes they’ll gain knowledge, and experience, on bigger vessels that have more complex systems and are also powered by inboard engines.

This graduated learning process allows students to reinforce and develop practical “on-the-water” skills while also gaining valuable boating knowledge, serving to gradually round out a sailor’s education.

Accelerate Skills Development

Experiential Education

We offer small class sizes (typically 2 to 4 students) to maximize helm time and accelerate your skills development. We believe that experiential education is the best way to learn, so nearly all course time is spent on the boat.

All of our instructor-captains are USCG-licensed and ASA-certified.

SailTime supports the national recreational boating education standards as recognized by the United States Coast Guard.
