Our learn-to-sail program gives many students their first opportunity at command of a boat. Students earn self confidence and responsibility as they gain boat handling skills. Lessons include sailing terminology, knot-tying skills, safe sailing lessons, racing skills and much more.
Our racing program starts by honing dinghy skills and can help transition the student as far as they want to go. Sessions focus on specific racing skills and techniques with classroom instruction to review strategy, tactics and rules. Short practice races allow for ample coaching opportunities.
Our adult program has successfully provided newer sailors the opportunity to comfortably handle their own boat. We tailor these sessions to the individual. Whether getting on a dinghy for the first time or refreshing good sailing habits, our instructors are there to provide the experience desired.
Our Boyne City sessions operate in June from the City Marina in downtown Boyne City. The City generously allows the use of their docks and protected marina which makes for a safe and convenient starting point for Sail Charlevoix. The large adjacent public park provides family a great venue for watching the classes and Friday racing. Restrooms, pavilion and close access to downtown make this a great place to hang out before, during and after sailing classes. Look for the Sail Charlevoix trailer near the boat launch.

The Charlevoix sessions start the last week of June and operate from the north end of Depot Beach. Our docks, hoists and dolly launch offer several means of access to this beautiful portion of Lake Charlevoix. The adjacent park offers one of the best beaches in the area, restrooms and a pavilion for inclement weather. The prevailing westerly breezes make launching easy. The instructional area is close to shore and affords great viewing opportunities. Look for the Sail Charlevoix trailer near the end of the parking lot.
