Passion Yachts teaches on modern Beneteau, Jeanneau, and Hunter sailboats on the Columbia River and throughout the San Juan Islands. Boat sizes range from 22 to 45 feet. Passion Yachts will even teach students on their own boat if it is properly equipped. “Hands-on instruction” is paramount in Basic Sailing through Advanced Coastal Cruising. We believe that students learn best when 60%-90% of the instruction is on the water. Our instruction is comprehensive, yet relaxed! We want sailors to have fun while they are learning. Class sizes range from two to four students per boat.
