Learn to Sail

3rd Coast Cruising offers a wide variety of sailing options. Our "Learn to Sail" program will appeal to all levels of sailors including potential boat owners/bareboaters offering hands-on training. We offer more sailing packages than any other school in Chicago. We want to make sure our teaching style works for you and if you are new to sailing, it is important to get several experiences on the water before you decide if you got what it takes! To assist you in deciding what package makes the most sense for you, we developed a Trial Membership for new folks so they can “kick the tires”.  Fill out this SURVEY and see if you qualify for a Trial Membership Discount. Once we receive your responses, we will send you more details regarding this program.
