What distinguishes Fair Wind Sailing School from other sailing schools is our commitment to excellence.  We start with the ASA sailing instruction curriculum and then custom tailor our sailing lessons to assure that everyone from beginners on their first sail to old salts making blue water ocean passages receives first rate teaching while having the time of their lives.  You don't have to take our word for it, see what our sailing school customers say about our sailing school. Better yet, see what live-aboard sailing lessons look like. All our Captains hold US Coast Guard Master level licenses and ASA Certified Sailing Instructor (CSI) designation. Fair Wind Sailing School is proud to announce that this year 3 of our sailing instructors have been named Outstanding Instructor by the ASA -- the highest honor bestowed on instructors by theASA.

Fair Wind Sailing School also offers yachts for bareboat charter in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands and on Lake Erie, the Chesapeake Bay and Lake St. Clair.  In St. Thomas, Virgin Islands we offer our fabulous Leopard 45 catamaran and our Island Packet 40 for Bareboat and Captained Charters -- the perfect yacht for a trip through the BVI or for cruising the US Virgin Islands.  In the Great Lakes and Chesapeake Bay we offer a varied fleet of bareboat charter yachts specifically chosen for the waters and ports of call of those areas.  Our bareboat charter fleet is open to both our graduates of our sailing school and other qualified sailors.  All of the yachts we use for teaching, in addition to other outstanding vessels, are available for bareboat charter.  Fair Wind Sailing School features outstanding yachts from Island Packet, Bavaria and Leopard.  All our yachts are generously equipped and maintained in excellent condition.
