Spinnaker Sailing-San Francisco

We were over from England and wanted an unforgettable day and this was beyond expectations! We went out for several hours and we learnt lots about sailing and SF. My three boys -11, 14, 15 really loved it and are now talking about our next sailing trip.

Incredibly kind, passionate, and highly flexible people working the office at Spinnaker. Good equipment and clean boats! More importantly though, I took ASA 101 (BK I +II) and a great emphasis was put on actual time at the tiller reading and reacting to different scenarios on the ever changing San Francisco Bay. My instructor took great care in imparting highly practical sailing knowledge, theory, and awareness. Huge skills and confidence boost from only a few days on the water!

I finished BK1 and BK2 2 weeks ago with Captain David. I was super impressed with these classes that helped build my basic sailing skills and overall confidence on the water. Captain David does a great job teaching sailing theory and practical awareness on the water. He has a ton of experience and made the time fun and enjoyable. If you are interested in learning to sail in the Bay Area, choose Spinnaker Sailing.

I have taken basic keelboat 1 and 2 along with basic coastal cruising and have now started chartering boats from Spinnaker. I recommend Spinnaker as it is a great place to learn how to sail. The team of instructors have your best interest in mind with great lessons and tips to ensure that you get on the water with safety in mind.

I took the Basic Keelboat 1 and 2 class that totaled up to 4 full days of sailing and learning all about the ins and outs of the boat as well as learning the ropes (heh). I'm as beginner level they get but I had a blast learning new things and testing my limits.

Captain Steve is a highly recommended instructor for Basic Keelboat 1 and genuinely got me interested in exploring this hobby more. He made sure we were comfortable and confident in everything we did but also made it a point to challenge us when it came to taking the helm or just doing things around the boat like making sure all the sheets and lines were in order.

I highly recommend these classes if you enjoy spending peaceful time by the bay or enjoy learning a thing or two about boats. I know I did!
