About

Non-Certification Course

"Is sailing for me?" If you have ever asked yourself this, then keep reading!

  • Our Introduction to Sailing class is perfect for those that have either never been sailing and want to see what it is about, or have tried sailing, liked it, and would like to learn a little more. Hop on board with your instructor, cruise through the Intracoastal Waterway and out into the Atlantic Ocean whilst learning the ins and outs of sailing!

Your 4-hour Sailing Introduction includes as much or as little as you prefer, such as:

  • Sail 3 miles offshore rounding a "fishing-buoy"
  • Assisting with the sails
  • Watch the dolphins jump alongside the sailboat
  • Then kick back and relax while eating lunch on the inlet!

This is a fully private lesson with just you, your group, and your Captain on the sailboat. Lunch and nonalcoholic beverages are included on this sail and it is great for families on vacation as well as individuals! No pre-requisites needed. On rare occasions a crew member may assist on the trip.

Come join us aboard the Island Song, and make your Myrtle Beach vacation one you'll be talking about for years!


Not Included:

Motion Sickness Remedies. While most of our guests are fine sailing on the ocean, some are concerned about potential sea sickness or queesy-ness. We have seen Dramamine, Bonine and other medications, pressure point wrist bands, patches behind the ear, and more being used. These can typically be purchased at a pharmacy store. Gratuities for your Captain and/or Crew are optional and is greatly appreciated.
