Welcome to sailing in the Pacific Northwest- one of the world's most sought after sailing destinations where our protected coastline and archipelagos provide the ideal destination to learn, relax and explore.

Our expertise is preparing you to sail as competent skippers and valued crew on recreational sailboats capable of coastal cruising, coastal racing and international bareboat chartering.
 

All of our courses lead to  American Sailing Association (ASA) Certifications which are international qualifications for safely operating your own sailboat,  bareboat chartering  and crewing for competitive skippers.

One of the best ways to explore BC and much of the world is on a sailboat. We organize sailing adventures to beautiful and fascinating places providing opportunities to  build your sailing knowledge, seamanship skills and practical experience.

“Twenty years from now you
will be more disappointed
by the things that you didn’t
do than the ones you did do.

So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your
sails. Dream...... Discover.”

Mark Twain
