ABOUT
The Crew to Skipper Program is a holistic method which we developed throughout the years. This program is our commitment to our members' sailing education by combining on-water and classroom lessons led by experienced instructors and mentor-members. The lessons are designed to all skill levels - so that whether you need to learn sailing from scratch or need to refresh and perfect your game - you will find value. The lessons are following the curriculum of the NauticED online courses which you will have access to 24/7 at the comfort of your home.
