Learn to sail in one of our group sailing classes. The protected waters of Mission Bay, San Diego, offer a fun water playground to learn to sail. We offer both a small boat sailing program and a keelboat sailing program.
The small boat sailing program includes Basic Sailing, Advanced Sailing, and Hobie Cat Sailing. After completing a small boat sailing class, you can become eligible to rent that sailboat through our rental or sailing membership programs.
The keelboat sailing program includes Basic Keelboat Sailing Level 1 and Basic Keelboat Sailing Level 2. The keelboat classes are a great fit if you hope to sail larger boats in the future or are interested in obtaining a US Sailing Basic Keelboat Sailing certification.
