Reconnect With Sailing

Get Back Behind the Helm.

From refreshing the basics to advancing your skills, more time on the water brings new confidence and unforgettable experiences.

Dinghy Courses for Certification

Dinghies are small, light boats that react quickly to your movements. Dinghies are fun, easy to launch from shore and great for learning how to sail. Sailing a dinghy requires a bit more agility and you should be comfortable getting wet. 

Keelboat Courses for Certification

If you would like to learn how to sail on a larger and more stable boat that won’t capsize, we recommend that you start with the Sail Canada Basic Cruising course which is part of the Sail Canada Learn to Cruise program.

Private Instruction

On your boat, or ours! Whether you’re looking to sharpen specific sailing skills, need an experienced skipper for your next vacation, or want help delivering a newly purchased boat, Advantage Boating offers flexible, personalized support.

Skill Builder Clinics

Our Skill Builder clinics may be customized such that each student on board can focus on those skills they wish to develop. Practice your points of sail, tacking & gybing, boat handling manoeuvres, docking, anchoring, crew overboard, sail trim, larger boat handling and more!

Refreshers & Mileage Builders

Sharpen your skills at the helm, tackle longer routes, and take the wheel of larger cruising boats as you explore new waters—from the Ottawa River and Kingston’s historic shores to the turquoise seas of the Caribbean. Whether you’re logging miles or reigniting your sailing passion, this hands-on experience will push your boundaries in all the right ways.
