Join Us for a Customized Sail Lesson!
Lesson Details
Head out on the water with an experienced instructor and sail! Your instructor will customize your experience, this can be the first time sailing, you may consider yourself a beginner or intermediate sailor or just want a refresher. This is a positive environment to build skills, knowledge and confidence, so you can increase your enjoyment on the water, connect with nature and have a lot of fun!
Come by yourself or with up to two others for a lesson. Each person can choose how much they want to participate. If some in your party want to relax and watch they can do this as others are sailing. We are on a river, so this is a great spot to learn in calm waters. We can also get out into the Saco Bay as well in a short amount of time.
