Combo Courses

Combining two or three programs into one fun-filled week of learning allows you to receive certification in two areas while immersing yourself into the sailing lifestyle.

Spend 4 to 7 days learning to sail the Atlantic Ocean. Depending on your chosen course, you may be spending your nights aboard either at our marina, at anchor, or docked at Bald Head Island Marina (a 25 to 30 mile ocean sail). Upon completion of one of our combo courses, you will have the knowledge to skipper or crew a sailboat safely in the ocean, along the coast during the day, in moderate winds up to 20 knots.

3 student limit per class, unless couple/family (4ppl max), allowing you more time sailing.

All courses require a non-refundable 25% student deposit. Once received, all instructional materials will be mailed to you.

Final payment is due twenty-one (21) days before you arrive and will be paid via emailed invoice.

Private lessons are available for an additional $600 per individual course.
