Couldn't be happier
to have started my sailing journey here. I started from zero - like didn't know the first thing about sailing. After a year and a half of classes, I'm very comfortable on the water... I would recommend this place wholeheartedly to anyone who's ever flirted with the idea of learning how to sail but wasn't sure where to begin. It can totally change your life.

The company is wonderful,
it's like a well oiled machine. The employees work well together, are very knowledgable, and kind to those who know absolutely nothing about sailing a boat. Many thanks to the staff that made our experience so wonderful. Thank you Brian, Lennox, and Amy! We appreciate you.

I'm proud to say
that we just returned from the trip of a lifetime in the BVI. We rented a 41 ft boat and sailed for 8 days ourselves without a hired skipper. It was all possible because of Bluewater. Not only did they teach us the required ASA curriculum for 101, 103 and 104, Elliot and his team tailored the instruction to help us accomplish our goal in record time.
