Adult Sailing

And the Home of Adult Sailing

Miami Yacht Club hosts several classes a year for adults who want to learn the basics of sailing.  Classes are presently taught using the club's five 16-foot Precision sailboats, but there are plans underway to replace these boats sometime this upcoming autumn.  Classes are taught with 1-2 students and one instructor per boat.  Beginning and Intermediate classes are offered.  Instructors are Miami Yacht Club members.

Our adult sailing program is second to none.  We host several classes a year in a four weekend format catering to beginning and intermediate adult sailors.  Private lessons are also available.

With the class, students get an American Red Cross/US Sailing book entitled "Start Sailing Right." Also included with the tuition is six weeks temporary membership at the Miami Yacht Club.  If after graduating, a student wishes to join the Miami Yacht Club, the class tuition up to $180.00 is deducted from the initiation fee.  The student has up to one year to take advantage of the reduced initiation.
