Boating safety courses provide critical boating knowledge to anyone who plans to get out on the water, and for boat operators it is required in most states. Boating safety helps reduce personal injury and property damage associated with the use of a recreation boat. Learn about responsible boat operation, etiquette, and rules of the waterways through our safety courses. Benefits to Boating Safety Courses Include:

Save money: Most boat insurance providers offer discounts to those who have successfully completed a boating safety course.

Become a safer boater: Boat safety can make boating more enjoyable for everyone involved, if you’re ready to expand your knowledge attend one of our courses.

Be prepared for an emergency: Emergencies are never planned, but if you have to face one these courses will give you the best plan of action and procedures to follow.

Proper Equipment management: Boating safety courses allow you to learn how to inspect your vessel’s equipment and understand how it all works.

If you’re a new boater, looking to lower insurance costs, or just looking to gain more boating knowledge, these courses are truly no-brainers! Check out our class schedule to become a confident, legal, and safe boater. Contact us today to register for an upcoming course!

4worldlovers: “I started Sound Sailing in 1986 to help you get involved in sailing through an innovative instruction and membership program. Our instruction is based on a simple concept—in 20 to 30 hours you will be out sailing my boats by yourself, so we damn well better do a good job! The membership program uses boats I enjoy sailing myself.”

Our teaching methods are hands on, on the water, with fewer students than most other schools. We never have more than three students per instructor in our Intro, Basic Keelboat, or Basic Cruising classes. Private lessons are available We know your time is valuable. Our boats and teaching methods are uniquely designed so as to allow you to sail single-handed after taking Basic Keelboat, which helps you gain confidence quickly. We strongly encourage new sailors to become competent with day-sailers, before moving on to larger boats. Small boat experience is the fastest and best way to become a competent sailor.

Although many schools promote a package program that has you sailing larger boats in a week, you will be a better sailor and enjoy sailing more if you practice with day-sailers. Rentals and Charters: Our fleet is diverse, ranging from classic boats like the Ensigns, to our modern 40 class yachts including our Catalina 400 and Var (Hanse) 37. In general, we look for good sailing qualities and strong construction. We buy boats we like! Naturally, every mainsail in our fleet has a Dutchman Sail Flaking System, along with other gear like roller furling jibs that allows you to get out sailing in a few minutes, even if single-handed. Ensigns have electric motors, so even starting the engine is simple. Charters are multi-day rentals, for taking extended trips on our larger boats. Rentals and Charters are available if a boat does not have full membership. If you will be taking out our boats less than 4 times a year, rentals or charters are the way to go.

Unlike other membership, timeshare, or fractional use programs, we offer far more flexibility combined with expert, on site staff, in a diverse fleet from our 2014 Hanse 37 and 2000 Catalina 400, to our affordable and fun Ensigns. Members can use any boat in our fleet smaller than the one they have signed up for. With multiple locations, including a 40 and 35 class yacht in Mystic, you gain a vastly larger cruising ground.
