Outstanding Experience
Both instructors were very knowledgeable and always had clear and concise answers. Jack was calm on the water at all times, even when we potentially made an error. We had the opportunity to sail in 30 knot wind. That was a blast. The class material and tests were thorough and forced us to study and practice.

Enjoying New Sailing Life
Just wanted to touch base and let you know how much we have been enjoying our new sailing life. Since we bought a sailing boat last May, and have gone sailing every other month. Thanks to Velas sailing school, we’ve been able to share our love of sea and ocean sailing with friends and family, turning more people into sailors!

Our Best Adventure
My teacher taught me the importance of patience and independence. He guided but never coddled. The outcome: I learned more than I could ever have imagined. My wife and I have traveled the world and this was by far one of our best adventures. An amazing vacation that ended with an acquired skill that will last us our lifetime.
