Beginning Sailing
We offer two entry level beginning sailing classes for those who never sailed before or just have a little experience sailing with others:
- Lido 1 - Learn to sail through dock-side lectures and hands-on experience in OCC’s Lido 14 dinghies
- Harbor 20 Level 1 - for beginning students who prefer smaller classes and instruction on a more stable boat.
Certifications
US SAILING offers certifications for both sailing and powerboating. Once earned, these certification credentials, in conjunction with your continuing experiences, are recognized by charter companies and sailing schools worldwide as the status of your accomplishments in the world of sailing.
Youth and Family
Families can experience the joy of sailing together for the first time in our Parent and Child Sailing Class, while kids 7 to 15 years old can learn from our talented and fun instructors in our summer camps, holiday camps or after school sailing courses.
Gift Certificates
A Gift Certificate to the OCC School of Sailing & Seamanship is the perfect gift any time of year for sailors and power boaters alike.
