Private Sailing Lessons and Instruction

I'm available for private sailing lessons and instruction in Seattle, Washington for people who want to move beyond basic sailing skills to more advanced sailing skills. I can also help new sailboat owners build confidence in their sailing ability and vessel operation.

At this time, I only work with people who already have some sailing experience. My fee is a donation to Salish Sea Expeditions equal to $60 per hour of instruction.

Sailing is a blast! If you are a beginner and thinking about taking lessons- get started today by checking out Windworks Sailing Center. There are more sailing schools listed on 48° North Magazine's sailing schools page.
