Private and Family Sailing Lessons
Lessons On Your Own Boat
Designed for boat owners who want to gain sailing skills and knowledge aboard their own vessel. Private sailing lessons aboard your own boat can help you hone existing skills as well as learn new skills. Ondeck Charleston can provide US Sailing certifications during the course, or simply help owners familiarize themselves with their vessel and acquire skills based on a customized curriculum.
Family Courses
Family lessons are very popular alternative for families who have different skill levels and aim to sail together. Instructors teach family members how to work together effectively as a crew while providing a fun family activity. Family programs can cover traditional course content that includes US Sailing certifications.
"I'm thrilled that Cyrus was my kids' first introduction to sailing. I feel he has planted a seed for a life long love of sailing. The instruction given by him was AWESOME!!!. He was patient, respectful and polite, and taught using all learning modalities - a true teacher A+."
