Sailing Orlando is a small charter and sailing school based in Orlando, FL, offering private sails and ASA instruction on Lake Fairview.
The company specializes in 2-hour private cruises — a Two Hour Sunset Sailing Cruise and a Two Hour Day Sail — and a 3-Day ASA 101 Sailing Class that provides 15 hours of hands-on training.
Private cruises run aboard a 25-foot Com-Pac sailboat with an experienced captain. Guests may bring their own snacks and drinks and enjoy relaxed, personalized time on the water. The Two Hour Sunset Sailing Cruise emphasizes scenic Central Florida sunsets and quiet lake passages, while the Two Hour Day Sail focuses on daytime relaxation and basic onboard experience for beginners and seasoned riders alike.
The 3-Day ASA 101 Sailing Class is held at Lake Fairview Marina and delivers structured, practical instruction across two or three days to meet the ASA 101 curriculum. Students receive hands-on sailing time, guided maneuvers, and skills assessments necessary to earn official ASA 101 certification.
Sailing Orlando emphasizes safety, small-class attention, and local knowledge of Central Florida waterways. Captains provide individual guidance, clear instruction, and a calm sailing experience suitable for first-time sailors and repeat guests. Booking options include private charters and scheduled certification classes, designed to offer memorable lake sailing, practical skill building, and confident, certificate-backed progress for new sailors. Experienced captains maintain safety equipment and local navigation knowledge, provide pre-departure briefings, and tailor each sail to passenger experience level for a secure, enjoyable, educational time on Lake Fairview and memories.
