“My son and I have been sailing for years but never got certified so we decided to take the plunge. We loved every minute. Our instructor, Keith, was a great fit for us and we had a blast. I would highly recommend this school to anyone in the area. We learned so much and are looking to do the next certification when time allows. Thanks again.“- J. Smith
