Virgin Island Sailing School

 

 

VI Sailing School is the only American Sailing Association (ASA)  certified sailing school based in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Founded in 2010 on St. Thomas Island, we offer week-long live-aboard sailing courses, as well as skippered charters with as much formal or informal sailing instruction as you’d like.

We established V.I. Sailing School here for several reasons. 1. Because it is, quite simply, the best place to sail in the world – almost unfailingly warm and breezy, with smooth, calm waters that are sheltered by surrounding islands. 2. The VI’s are engaging and wonderous. From the snorkeling to the history; each day offering new beaches to explore, breathtakingly beautiful anchorages, and seriously notable sunsets. 3. The airfares are the most reasonable in the Caribbean.

Our Classes emphasize the safe and proper operation of a sailboat. Our Charters are yours to create (usually more relaxing and/or more customized/focused schooling structure). Share your with us your perfect week in paradise, and we’ll do our best to exceed your expectations. See our Video here.

Learning to sail is a means to unlimited discovery. We delight in passing on the skills that enable people to experience the adventure of going where there are no roads…
