Sailing is a life-changing experience!
You will learn how to read the winds, feel the waves, and guide a large sailing yacht into the open waters of Okanagan Lake. We provide hands-on experience with ample opportunities over four hours to explore the movement and decisions that accompany the journey.
And it is unbelievably beautiful! The scenery is spectacular, from the many developed wineries on The Naramata Bench to the wild natural areas and parks. Photographers will love it!
The lake is warm and clean. You will love it when we anchor up for a swim or paddle board. It is the perfect experience to spend a day outdoors to create family memories or incredible encounters with friends.
We offer more than just sailing too! Explore how to better navigate your life. Learn how to better respond to winds of change. We bring together the skills of sailing and the art of wisdom: ‘sailing with heart’. It is a mix of sunshine, laughter, friendship and also a meaningful encounter.
What's included:
Paddleboards,
PFDs and safety equipment,
sparkling water,
fridge or cooler space for your snacks and drinks.
