Overview

Put a new knot on your skill belt with a basic sailing lesson and half-day tour of St Lucia's Rodney Bay. Set out aboard a 40-feet-long racing yacht with an attentive crew who will teach you to fly the jib and hoist the main sail, then allow you to practice on your own. Participate as much or as little as you like: simply sit back and watch the action or go all in and take over the ship's wheel. This spectacular coastline excursion includes both morning and afternoon departures.

Friendly and knowlegeable instructor! This is a 40 ft racing vessel so you get a real feel for sailing in calm sea and waves. Loved that we only had 6 aboard so it felt like a personalized experience.

Great afternoon on the bay!

Vicky was a great instructor and guide. The tour was small group with the right mix of involvement and relaxation. We really enjoyed the time around the bay and just being on the boat. Would highly recommend. A great way to spend 3 hours on the water.
