May through October
It’s never too late to learn how to sail, which is why in addition to its youth sailing program, the Breakwater Yacht Club offers sailing lessons geared specifically for adults. Like the youth program, adults work with BYC instructors and are taught all the skills they need to confidently handle a sailboat on the water.
For its adult sailing program, Breakwater Yacht Club offers private and group lessons scheduled at the customer’s convenience, which means you can choose instruction in a one-on-one setting or learn to sail with a small group of friends. Adult students learn on the BYC’s JY15s and the club’s new J 70s. In addition, through special arrangement private lessons can also be offered on Lasers as well.
Previous sailing experiences is not required. While club membership is encouraged for adult sailing students, it is not mandatory.
