Delmarva Sailing School
Welcome
Take fun and informative sailing lessons on Lake Nockamixon and become an ASA certified captain.
Nockamixon Sailing School is an American Sailing Association affiliated sailing school. We teach and certify our students to ASA standards, and offer beginning and intermediate level sailing classes. Our students then can continue their sailing education at our sister school, Delmarva Sailing School, which offers the entire series of ASA sailing classes for inland and near coastal water, from beginner to advanced level. Nockamixon Sailing School is also home to ASA Instructor Qualification Clinics where new instructors get certified.
All of our instructors are ASA certified sailing instructors and have their US Coast Guard captain’s license, ensuring the finest instruction available.
Nockamixon Sailing School sailing classes are all taught on the water. Class size is kept small and is typically 3-4 students. Classes are available to fit almost anyone's schedule.
Why not learn to handle a 20-30 foot sailboat in a safe and fun environment on Lake Nockamixon, and then learn to sail a 30-50 foot sailboat on the Chesapeake Bay, with our sister school, Delmarva Sailing School? Take the entire series and get certified to bareboat charter in destinations all over the world. Why not start close to home without having to spend money and time on travel.
After students learn to sail we also offer a unique “Practice Sailing Program” that allows students to come back between classes and practice what they have learned, or to gain additional practice and confidence before chartering or purchasing their own sailboat.
By choosing Nockamixon Sailing School for your sailing education you can realize your dream of learning to sail. Our alumni charter sailboats in destinations all over the world, and many have purchased their own sailboat.
