AMELIA ISLAND and
JACKSONVILLE, FL sailing lessons!

Award-winning School

Windward Sailing School has consistently ranked in the top five
sailing schools nationwide, year after year.
We have built upon our
long-standing tradition of excellence by adding more instruction options,
discounts and total flexibility in scheduling. In addition to our Amelia Island
location, we offer on-the-water instruction in the Greater Jacksonville area.
Our Ortega River location is just minutes away from Jacksonville Landing,
and offers a wide range of services for both new and experienced sailors.

Visit our Contact/Directions page for details about all classes!

Courses are taught by American Sailing Association Certified Instructors. Class size is limited to 8 people in the classroom — 4 people per boat.

If any of our currently scheduled courses are inconvenient for you, just
contact us to inquire about private lessons. Some courses are arranged
on a demand basis; let us know if you would like to take a class that
