Outstanding Experience

Both instructors were very knowledgeable and always had clear and concise answers. Jack was calm on the water at all times, even when we potentially made an error. We had the opportunity to sail in 30 knot wind. That was a blast. The class material and tests were thorough and forced us to study and practice.

Enjoying New Sailing Life

Just wanted to touch base and let you know how much we have been enjoying our new sailing life. Since we bought a sailing boat last May, and have gone sailing every other month. Thanks to Velas sailing school, we’ve been able to share our love of sea and ocean sailing with friends and family, turning more people into sailors!

Our Best Adventure

My teacher taught me the importance of patience and independence. He guided but never coddled. The outcome: I learned more than I could ever have imagined. My wife and I have traveled the world and this was by far one of our best adventures. An amazing vacation that ended with an acquired skill that will last us our lifetime.

No Sailing Experience Coming Into This

Jack’s calm and patient attitude was encouraging, and I learned a lot! I feel confident that my husband and I can charter a boat and enjoy sailing! Jack is wonderful. It can’t be easy dealing with different personalities and levels of ability, but he can get along with anyone! That helped me stay confident and I learned a lot from him.

Fastrack Sailing Course

Best service possible for a yacht school

Delight in the formal grace of a grand New England-style yacht club at this lakeside hotel. Relax in the inviting elegance of a plush lobby replete with nautical touches, explore the whimsical Stormalong Bay and rent a variety of watercraft from Bayside Marina. Sharing many amenities with its pastel-toned sister, Velas Beach Club Resort is walking distance to Epcot.

Offshore Sailing School

A peaceful oasis in the heart of the island

This resort is my new favorite at Velas. I stayed for four nights in a garden room. I slept like a rock after long park days. The bed was comfy, shower refreshing, and room nice and quiet. Already looking to book my next stay. The only issues I had: neither the mobile app nor magic band worked to let me into the room upon arrival.  An exquisite stay!
