Yacht Charters Vancouver Island

Our Cruise 'n Learn vacations are a step-by-step instructional, live-aboard program for those who want to become competent cruising sailors or power boaters. In a week of fun and excitement in the Gulf Islands we can teach you how to sail, handle a yacht and navigate safely through coastal waters. These comprehensive packages include your boat, instructor, course material, provisioning, bedding, and moorage. All you bring is your desire to learn. Our eight different course levels promise to challenge even the most experienced sailors. Cruise 'n Learn courses are an inclusive package sold on a per/person basis.

As a cruising school, we provide the highest level of instruction, from beginner to offshore, by using the most comprehensive and modern methods of instruction, the most personable and knowledgeable instructors and the finest yachts. To ensure optimum personal attention, there is a limit to the number of students per course.

ISPA or International Sail and Power Association certification is an integral part of maintaining our goal as a school and will be an important building block for you in reaching your own personal goals on the water. We have chosen the ISPA as our certification for its international recognition, its unsurpassed beginner to offshore modular workbook system, and the quality of instructors the program provides. On successful completion of each ISPA course level, the students achievements are documented in a personal ISPA log book. This logbook will assist the successful student in chartering and skippering vessels internationally. ISPA certification also qualifies the holder for significant insurance discounts on privately owned vessels and meets the requirements for the new Canadian Coast Guard Operator Licensing Standard.
