INTRODUCTION to SAILING

SUMMARY

This course introduces you to the world of sailing aboard our Wauquiez Hood 38. Successful candidates will be familiar with sailing similar boats in light to moderate conditions and in protected waters.

This is a 6-8 hour course (split over 1 or 2 days) with a singular focus on providing you with a fun-filled introduction to the world of sailing! With your Instructor, you will review what you’ve learned about basic sailing topics and skills covered in NauticEd’s “Introduction to Sailing” course. Following review, you’ll get out onto the water and practice what you’ve learned, preparing you to get comfortable on the water and safely start sailing.

As you’ve completed the online curriculum prior to joining your Instructor on the water, the end of the class will include an assessment of your newfound skills. If you qualify, you’ll receive the “Verified Competency” endorsement to go with your NauticEd Basic Sailing Skills Certificate!

This course is run out of San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico. Experience spectacular desert mountain views and bright, clear waters in the aptly nicknamed “World’s Aquarium”.

Prices below are reflective of using our fleet vessel, Escape Velocity. Students have the option to request a charter boat of their preference, which will be prices below + charter vessel cost for the duration chosen.
