At The Gratitude Sailing Institute, we have infused decades of experience into a curriculum led by a team of the finest sailing professionals. The result is a program embodying key elements of sailing success – your personal safety, education, and enjoyment. These values and our commitment to our students are never compromised.
Gratitude builds seamen and seawomen who are capable and confident on the water. From the moment they step aboard, Gratitude’s students learn seamanship skills needed to avert or, if unavoidable, handle sailing pitfalls both safely and skillfully. At Gratitude, we are passionate about what we do, and we expect an equal commitment from our students. Candidates searching for a shortcut, diploma mill school that crams critical concepts and necessary sailing skills into abbreviated classes should look elsewhere.
Our instructors, the backbone of our organization, are all U.S. Coast Guard Licensed Master Captains and committed professionals governed by and practicing a code of excellence. As recognized leaders in their field, all our instructors have amassed thousands of miles of sea time on bodies of water worldwide. They teach candidates patiently and thoroughly, and their enthusiasm is contagious. Our boats are sound, ocean-ready seacraft maintained to the highest maritime standards.
A key element of sailing is teamwork. Whether you’re an individual, couple, or organization, we specialize in utilizing sailing to experience the enhanced and effective team-building metamorphosis that naturally occurs among sailors.
We urge you to consider all aspects of your instructional options as you survey the broad field of sailing schools. Careful evaluation will reveal that The Gratitude Sailing Institute has the highest commitment to your personal safety, education and enjoyment offered by none other. This is our promise to you from the moment you step aboard, and it will accompany you throughout your transformative sailing journey with us.
