Why We Love This Unique Experience

Maine Experience Gifts: On this private sailing experience in Biddeford, you will be taught how to sail by a professional. With two hours of private tuition, you'll be sailing away in no time!

Your experience begins when you arrive at the dock, where you'll be greeted by your friendly instructor. Following a safety briefing, you will be ready to set sail. Your instructor will walk you through safely getting off the dock and adjusting the sails to pick up speed. As you begin to take the lead, your instructor will be helping you along to ensure a safe and fun experience. This hands on style of teaching is highly effective and will leave you with a new set of skills to show off! A private sailing lesson makes for a fantastic date idea or fun outing with a friend as you learn to man a sailboat together. Enjoy some quality time with a loved one or take the lesson alone to focus on becoming a sailing pro. 

The Private Two Hour Sailing Lesson in Biddeford makes a wonderful experience gift for fans of sea borne adventures!

Private Two Hour Sailing Lesson In Biddeford

Head out on the water with an experienced instructor and sail! Your instructor will customize your experience, this can be the first time sailing, you may consider yourself a beginner or intermediate sailor or just want a refresher. This is a positive environment to build skills, knowledge and confidence, so you can increase your enjoyment on the water, connect with nature and have a lot of fun!

Come by yourself or with up to two others for a lesson, there are multiple boats and instructors for larger groups. Each person can choose how much they want to participate. If some in your party want to relax and watch they can do this as others are sailing.  We are on a river, so this is a great spot to learn in calm waters.  We can also get out into the Saco Bay as well in a short amount of time.

Suggested Packing List:

  • Dress in Layers - windbreakers or a warmer layer is usually needed on the water, it can be pleasantly cool. After sunset, it can cool quickly, especially early in the season. We have lap blankets. Conditions at sea are normally similar to the beach except a bit cooler & windier.
  • Sunscreen - sunhat, sunglasses & whatever other sun protection you require is always good.
  • Soft-Soled Shoes are best for comfort and ease of walking around on the boat.
  • Raincoat - can be useful, though most of the time we will work to avoid rain, and if need be, it is dry under the dodger & in the cabin.
  • Snacks & Drinks - you are welcome to bring your own anything: food & drinks of any sort. We have an on-board refrigerator running to store your items you want to keep cool.
