Private Half-Day Sailing Lessons (Up to 4 People)

About this experience

What you'll do:

Dive into a thrilling three-hour sailing adventure on Boston's scenic waters! Perfect for locals and visitors alike, this hands-on lesson lets you explore the ins and outs of sailing with friends. Pricing covers the entire boat, so gather your crew for an unforgettable experience. From mastering the rigging to perfecting sail trim and understanding the points of sail, you'll take an active role in navigating our training sloop, Blue Swan. By the end, you'll be ready to take the helm on your own!

Meet at the launch dock 10 minutes before departure, then hop on a lunch or water taxi to reach the fleet. A bit of agility is required for smooth transitions between dock, launch, and boat, so hold onto your belongings and watch your step. Don't forget to check the weather and dress appropriately—bring sunscreen, a hat, and closed-toe shoes. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn a new skill and enjoy Boston's beautiful harbor. Sail away and make memories with our fun, local sailing experience!

Additional information:

  • Pricing is for the boat, not per student.
  • Please be at the launch dock 10 minutes prior to your scheduled departure.
  • To access the fleet, you'll be taking a lunch or water taxi from the dock to your boat. This will require agility to move from the dock to the launch and then from the launch to the boat. Agility is essential for safely navigating the transitions between the various vessels and ensuring a smooth transfer from one to the other. Be sure to hold onto any belongings securely and watch your step as you move between the different platforms.
  • Be sure to check the weather and dress accordingly. We recommend bringing sunscreen, a hat, and closed-toe shoes.
