Fair Winds,
Tricia & Kent and all of our Instructors
I took both my 101 & 103 sailing certifications with Erie Islands at their Sandusky location. Not only was the boat (Beneteau 35) in perfect running order but it was… read more immaculately clean. The instructor was a delight to work with and made myself and my classmate feel right at home.
The weather was everything you might experience sailing on Lake Erie, we went from a steady 10kts to gusts in the 30’s and during that time we never felt overpowered or unsafe. The skipper did a great job making sure we were reefed in at the appropriate times and demonstrated exactly what’s required for proper coastal cruising in all conditions.
I’ve recently purchased my own sailboat after taking both certifications and will be returning in the future for advanced instruction!
My wife and i just finished our two day Sailing 101 class at their Edgewater location in Cleveland…. Our sailing experience prior was limited to our love of taking… read more sunset cruises when we vacation near water. Our instructor, Jeremiah was really awesome. There are 4 students to the class and we were the most novice. Jeremiah was excellent at making us feel confident and kept the pace of instruction so that all 4 of us could understand. I would recommend anyone looking to learn to sail to take this course and we look forward to continuing our classes next summer.
This boat, Black Pearl was absolutely amazing!!! She is so beautiful and lovely!!! We had such a lovely time on the boat. We had a wonderful dinner at J Bistro… read more that was very close to the marina. We can’t wait to visit her again!!
With our main location at Safe Harbor Sandusky in Sandusky Bay, Erie Islands Sailing School is the ideal place to begin your sailing dream. The protected waters of Sandusky Bay offer the novice sailor a great place to learn the basics. The proximity of Lake Erie and the island destinations of Kelleys, the Bass Islands, and Put-in-Bay offer fun and challenging sailing for those taking our Bareboat Chartering and Advanced Coastal Cruising classes.
We look forward to sharing the world of sailing with you.
