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 and sailing times than any other school in Chicago. We want to make sure our teaching style works for our new students especially if they are new to sailing; it is important for new sailors to get several experiences on the water before they decide if they got what it takes! To assist new sailors in deciding what package makes the most sense, we developed a Trial Membership so new folks can “kick the tires”.
TRIAL MEMBERSHIP PROCESS: Once a student completes their trial membership and is interested in continuing, we will get feedback from the club members they sailed with to determine compatibility. We want to ensure that we have a good match for everyone!
