Adult Sailing Lessons 2026

Learn to sail with the South Whidbey Yacht Club!

ADULTS 18+ Beginning-Intermediate

Come feel the wind on your face, breathe the fresh air and learn how those little boats actually get from place to place using only the wind. It’s easy, safe and fun. The on-the-water instruction will be in Pelican Sailboats on Lone Lake.  We know it’s one of those things you always wanted to do – so do it now!!

Two sessions of the US Sailing Course for Beginning Sailing are being offered by the South Whidbey Yacht Club.  Two students are accompanied by an instructor in each boat.

An email will be sent out to all participants 7 to 10 days before their first class.  For more information see the Adult Program Detail here: https://swyachtclub.org/adult-sailing-programs/
