MacSailing offers a variety of courses to take for all ages! Also the instructors here are super duper nice! The sailboats here are in top quality so safety is not an issue, if your interested in sailing I would 100% recommend you start here at MacSailing.

I have rented from here before and had an overall good experience. However it's disappointing that they have greatly restricted the availability of their rentals to the public and now only rent to MacSailing "graduates" and what makes this worse is they say it's because of "covid" which honestly makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Was treated very badly, at end of training week, we been told we all passed, next day I contacted them and they came back that I did not pass the course.   Also before I paid for the course online, I called and asked what size is the class. They told me, it’s always 14, but on the last day of our training they booked in 22 people. This added more stress on the training and added to lots of traffic.   When I was out in the water, I needed to talk to an instructor but she was way to busy on her cell phone that she did not hear me at all.  Even though my voice is very load and can be heard over a fog horn for sure.      They said to me it’s very common for them to increase the number of people on the course, but yet they say and book for only 14 per course, they are not transparent with this fact.   When I complained about this and wanted a refund because I don’t trust them now, they said No.   i honestly see it upping the numbers of students on the last day evaluation day as a breach of contract.  Because they are not transparent.

We took sailing lessons here over two weekends. Really enjoyed our time and all the staff were nice, however, multiple instructor changes during the first weekend made the lessons so challenging for the group - we missed pieces of information and made little progress. The second weekend, however, we were introduced to a new instructor called Mike who is just made for his job - patient, relaxed, attentive and great at simplifying more complicated topics for beginners. We all had a great time and felt much more confident by the end of the second week : thanks Mac Sailing!

I had a great experience in a recent CANsail 1 course. The instructors Colin and Carissa were very skilled and experienced. I’m looking forward to putting my new skills to use this summer.  My only negative experience was a rude instructor/helper on the last day. She was quite rude, several times, and it didn’t fit with the overall tone. One rude person can ruin an overall wonderful customer experience, so I suggest fixing that.  Overall, I highly recommend.

I took CanSail 1 here and it was a lot of fun! Kyle and all the other instructors were very lovely and helpful

great staff, very easy to rent a boat for a couple hours

All instructors are excellent, super friendly and knowledgeable. The sailing school is really well run and in a stunning location! Would highly recommend for both kids camps and adult lessons
