Shark Bait
For young sailors, Shark Bait an excellent introduction for those getting out on the water for the first time. This program is run under very close supervision with a high instructor-to-student ratio, aiming to give students maximum attention as they get used to sailing. With at least two students per boat, sailing takes place inside the protected harbor and close to our dock, allowing for parents to observe their child’s first time at the helm and cheer them along. The class emphasizes safety and fun, as well as developing confidence in and around the water. Each week, fun lessons are planned at an easy to learn pace aiming to create a positive outlook for kids as they begin their sailing journey.
