Our Team

WHAT MAKES OUR PROGRAM GREAT?

OUR JUNIOR SAILING COMMITTEE AND STAFF

We believe our instructors are some of the best: all are US Sailing Association Level 1 or Level 2 Certified. All have gone through a similar sailing program like the one at Huguenot Yacht Club and know what it's like to be a junior sailor. As instructors and coaches, they chose to stick around to pass on their love of sailing as a skill and a sport and share what and how they learned in the process. They know that learning to sail is a great way to become self-reliant, make friends, and form life-long memories – that's what they will offer you. Whether you are a beginner or more advanced, our high instructor-to-student ratio ensures that you will receive the best instruction and enjoy a sailing experience that is second to none.
