For over forty years now Island Sailing has been empowering new emerging and existing sailors. Here at the Island Sailing Academy we believe that good seamanship should be at the heart of everything we do when we’re out on the water and it’s that attitude of approach that we are always striving to share and instill in our students.

Typical sailing conditions at Fern Ridge Lake are a perfect training ground for new and experienced sailors alike. Our instructors are passionate sailors and skilled educators you can count on for dynamic lessons with your goals, fun and safety as the highest priorities. Classes are scheduled on weekends and weekdays making our program readily accessible. We also offer programs specific for families, youth, veterans and people with disabilities. Spending time on the water in our program creates lifelong memories.

Passion Yachts teaches on modern Beneteau and Jeanneau sailboats on the Columbia River and throughout the San Juan Islands.
