The Introduction Sailing Course is a one-day sail on Monterey Bay with one of our friendly USCG licensed captains. Starting at the Pacific Sail office you’ll meet your captain and other adventures. After a description of how a sailboat works, you will step aboard one of our yachts and off you go. You will have the opportunity to participate in many activities such as steering the yacht, hoisting sails, or just sitting back and enjoying your day on The Monterey Bay. This is perfect for the person in your life that has been wanting to dive in to the world of sailing.

In this combination course, we will teach you the fundamentals of sailing and seamanship, go over knots, sail theory and other topics to give you the skills and confidence you need to safely skipper and crew a 27′ to 30′ tiller sailboat in light to moderate wind and sea conditions on lakes or other protected bodies of water. We will then expand your sail training, coaching you in how to skipper and crew on an auxiliary powered sailboat of about 30-34 feet during daylight hours in moderate to strong wind and sea conditions.
At the conclusion of the course, the student should be able to read a nautical chart and identify corresponding landmarks and aids to navigation, determine the vessel’s location, plot a course to steer, properly dock the vessel under motor power, take appropriate precautions when sailing under reduced visibility, and successfully recover an overboard victim.

Two-Hour Private Skippered Charter Gift Certificates: $450
Our US Coast Guard licensed Captain will take the recipient and their party of up to 5 guests (6 people maximum including the recipient) onboard one of our 10 luxury sailing yachts.
