PASSAGE OFFSHORE, A MODERN SAILING SCHOOL

Isle of Mull, Scotland Highlands - There are a lot of ways to sail, we focus on passage making. Passage making is more than just sailing the boat; on passage, a sailor knows what is around them and how to navigate safely through it. Wind and weather, tide and shoals, boat systems, and nuanced things like crew dynamics and decision-making tactics are all in the curriculum. 

By studying passage making underway, we combine theory and practical learning to give you a jump start on the lifelong quest of good seamanship. Every hour logged at sea and every conversation with a fellow sailor builds seamanship, it is a thing you never stop learning, but you don’t have to stumble through the crucial first steps! Gain real-world knowledge by getting underway with world-class instructors who will guide you on your Passage Offshore.

A Tyrrhenian Adventure Awaits

Naples is the vibrant southern Italian city known across the sea for its alluring tattered edges. Home to the ancient city of Pompeii and indulgent cuisine, it’s the culprit for dried pasta and yes, the birthplace of pizza.

This major port city is the jumping off point to the Sorrentine Peninsula and the Campanian Archipelago including the seductive island of Capri, Procida, Ischia, Ventotene, and Ponza. Headed west you can sail to the intoxicatingly wonderful Phlegraean Islands: Ischia, Procida, Vivara, and Nisida. The islands sit centered off the Sorrentine Peninsula between the two gulfs and extends to the Pontine Islands.

As a reminder, we operate on a first-come, first-served waitlist, and spots are already filling up quickly. If you’re ready to secure your cabin, don’t wait—send us a message now to lock in your place!

The Sea of Cortez & Baja California - Mexico’s other world. Known for its rolling sand dunes that fall into a bright blue sea, this itinerary is natures secret. Dramatic solitude of nature encapsulates the experience while we sail from alcove to alcove swimming with dolphins and the grand wildlife of the Pacific. Experience nature in its truest form on this remarkable journey. Assemble a crew and get ready to unplug and be isolated in paradise. This journey is not to be over looked.

There will be the sea - there will be lobsters - there will be fresh fish - there will be nature and there will be paradise. We’ll enjoy local restaurants at the mariners wharf and drop anchor in secluded coves to jump off our sailboat and enjoy the seas. The white sand beaches of Baja will be a highlight along with so many more opportunities to feel free
