The patience and professionalism of the staff was noteworthy. Captain Roger invited us to participate as much as we felt comfortable accommodating for each individual with respect. The training is invaluable!

Had a great morning on a Family Sail with Captain Jeff. DH grew up sailing, while I am a newbie and my 7-year-old had never been on a sailboat before. Super patient, and a wonderful time! Highly recommend!

We had the best time learning to sail! It was our first time sailing and feel like we learned so much! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We are definitely planning on returning to get certified!

We had a great experience in Sailing Basics with Captain Mark Schwenk who is very patient, professional, very knowledgable, and super great at reinforcing and practicing techniques. A++ Highly recommend. We plan to return to complete our ASA 101 and other certifications at The Sailing Academy. Many thanks!

As an ASA instructor who teaches at the Academy I am a little biased, but I find the family nature and easy going instruction that Captain Jeff promotes to be an excellent way to learn all aspects and levels of sailing. Good boats, great Captains and right in the heart of the sailing capital of the world...The Chesapeake Bay.
