My passion for sailing began when I was a young boy, sailing on Canyon Lake; close to New Braufels. As I grew older, my passion only grew stronger, and I eventually decided to share my passion for sailing. That’s when I decided to open our sailing school for adults, hoping to share my love for the sport with others in my community.
At our sailing school, we provide a unique opportunity for adults to enjoy an exciting and unforgettable sailing experience. Our instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and experienced and are passionate about getting people out on the water to learn new skills and build confidence. We also offer opportunities for racing and fun sails so that our students can explore on their own after they’ve honed their skills with our expert instructors. Our school provides an enjoyable and safe environment in which to learn the nuances of sailing and develop a deep appreciation for the sport.
At our sailing school, our goal is to provide a fun, friendly learning environment in which our students can expand their sailing expertise and knowledge. Our clients often report that learning to sail with us exceeds their expectations and inspires them to fall even more deeply in love with sailing. We look forward to teaching new sailors, welcoming them aboard, and sharing our passion for the beautiful art of sailing.
