Sailing alone is great, if you have a single handed boat. It is most certainly easier and more fun with a partner. For an additional $480 you may bring that special someone, a spouse, family member (teen or older please), a friend, or significant other and learn something new together!
The Jacomo Sailing Lessons are a fantastic deal, and are made possible by our generous volunteers that provide these individualized lessons. Accordingly, these lessons are not refundable.
After you have mastered the basics of sailing we encourage you to take out any "BoatShare" boat in our basic dinghy fleet of small sailboats for the rest of the year! For slightly more you could upgrade to "BoatShare Plus" or M15's.. more information on BoatShare, check out
