Our Philosophy: Learn boating and have fun at the same time!
SEA SENSE, the Sailing and Powerboating School, is owned and operated by professional women boaters, and has been in operation since 1989. Most of our scheduled courses are for women only, but in our specially arranged and custom courses we happily teach women, men, families and groups. We’re proud of our dedication and purpose of teaching sailing and powerboating, we’re serious about our emphasis on teaching safe boating safely and we’re pleased to pass on to you our love of being on the water. Learning about boating Increases your confidence and then the fun begins.
SEA SENSE offers a wide variety of courses to meet your needs, whether you are a beginner or an experienced hand. We offer a great selection of classes in some of the premier cruising areas of the world. We teach in Florida, New England, Chesapeake Bay, the Great Lakes, San Francisco Bay, the Pacific Northwest and along the Intracoastal Waterways. International classes may include the Bahamas, the Caribbean Islands, Greece, France, Italy and Tahiti. Picture yourself at the helm in any of these beautiful places!
It has always been part of our philosophy that knowledge is the best investment you can make for your own peace of mind. That emphasis becomes more apparent as many states and insurance companies require boat operators to take boating courses. Do yourself a favor and invest in your own education – for the safety of yourself, your crew and your boat!
