J/World is a US Sailing Certified educational facility. While most of our courses offer certification, we also pride ourselves in delivering a curriculum that far exceeds the base standards. We have been teaching sailing longer than anyone has been offering certifications. Our goal is to make you a confident and competent sailor. Many colleges offer Bachelor’s degrees, but we all know they are not equal. The same holds true for sailing schools. If you really want to learn, come to J World.
If you prefer a private experience over a group course, we offer the opportunity to receive fully personalized attention from one of the best sailing instructors in the country. You can come alone, or limit the enrollment in a particular course to your group of friends or family. We provide custom sailing instruction for individuals or groups at prices which compare favorably to standard courses, and will custom tailor the curriculum to meet your specific goals on a schedule which accommodates your plans.
