 Sailing Instruction Bareboat Charters

Perhaps you've seen sailboats racing on the tube and want to feel the excitement yourself.  Ever wanted to learn how to sail away from the dock?  Hoist the jib and main?  Tack and jibe?  We can teach you all this and more!  Are you confused with sailing terminology?  Not sure when to slacken the sheet or head up?  After a sail with us you will leave with more than an expanded vocabulary and a whole new appreciation for sailing.  You'll be able to impress your friends with your sailing prowess!  We offer sailing lessons on the 19' Rhodes, and the 19' Pearson Resolute. 

NOTE: All sailing instruction charters are a minimum of three hours and we charge for the boat and captain, not per person!

"We think that Ben Booth is such an exceptional teacher that we’re constantly disappointed that he can’t also teach us piano and European History. We sail with him whenever we get to Orcas Island."  Peter F.  Menlo Park, CA

The Boats

The Rhodes 19 is light and lively, yet easy to control.  Few people can sail these boats without grinning!  They are equipped with a quiet 4 stroke outboard motor.  Fin keel with bulb, transom hung rudder, these timeless favorites will surely win your heart!  The spacious cockpit will seat six adults comfortably.  
The Resolute is a 19' fin keel boat.  With a 9' long cockpit there is plenty of room for the whole crew to enjoy the trip.  This boat is fast, stable, and requires very little effort to sail.  She'll build your confidence in no time!  Quiet 4-stroke outboard equipped.
