    Description

    Sailboat Skipper

    If you want to share your love of sailing with others this is one of the best ways to do it.Our participants experience a level of freedom sailing that an able-bodied person can only start to understand. If you want to enjoy an experience with a boatload of happy people, we have a Catalina 22 and a Harbor 20 for taking groups out.

    Our four Access dinghies have side-by-side seating for two. This allows the skipper to sail the boat, assist the participant to sail it or just go along for the ride.

    The two Martin 16 dinghies seat two, one behind the other. With the participant having the controls, the skipper goes along for the ride, giving advice if asked.

    There is also an opportunity for someone with small motorboat experience. If you like spending time on the water, messing about in boats, and would like to help others enjoy the water, operating our Boston Whaler chase boat would meet all these criteria.

    Both of these positions require several years of experience. Please contact us if you think you may be qualified for either or both of these positions.
