Our school started in January of 2014 because of a passion for sailing. Captain Brad and First Mate Sherri, a husband and wife team who live aboard their own sailboat. True sailors at heart, wanted to share their knowledge and experience first hand to help educate others on how to sail safely and make the most of your sailing adventures.
So far we have had over 600 students with over 200 five star reviews. We know that our personal attention and hands-on instruction is the best in Key West!
Your class comes with a set of Placard Cards that remind you of the tasks involved to sail safely. So that after you’re back home you can use this waterproof set of 8 informational business card size placards which cover safety, raising and setting all sails, man over board recovery, getting underway and much more
When you come to KeyWest to take your sailing classes you will be in a Tropical or subtropical area of Florida. Our prevailing winds are from the South East and we separate the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean with our narrow peninsula. This means we can get the benefit of the Ocean Breeze but not the big waves on the Gulf side. When you’re trying to learn how to sail you can concentrate on just that and not be tossed around by 4 to 6 foot waves like you might be if you were sailing on the Atlantic Ocean side of Key West.
We are located at Sun Set Marina in Sunny Key West a modern marina with floating docks and great amenities.
We are 1.5 miles from the Key West Airport classes begin at 9 am and end at 4 pm so you can Learn by Day and explore Key West at Night.
We use a 30′ Catalina Obsession MkII with an electric motor – the perfect boat to learn on.
Southernmost Sailing School offers various packakges to meet your needs. All our classes have a 4 person maximum in order to ensure personal attention to get the most out of your class. If you prefer to learn on your own, we also offer private lessons.
