How flexible are the courses?
Welcome to a unique kind of sailing school designed with you, the student, in mind. Classes are customized for each student on board. You are welcome to complete as much or as little coursework as you desire. If there are members in your party who just want to ride along that is totally acceptable. We want your courses and your experience to be exceptional and fun.
What airport should I fly into?
