Erie Islands Sailing School

Erie Islands Sailing School was absolutely fantastic! The materials and instructions provided prior to the course were great, and I felt well prepared despite having little knowledge of sailing prior to this course. Rick, our Skipper and course instructor, was amazing, and we felt so at ease learning from him. All in all, an experience of a lifetime, and we will definitely look into one of their BVI trips that they take annually.

Black Pearl Sunset Sail's First Mate Tricia was an awesome host and Captain Kent was just as personable sharing insights, landmarks and history as we sailed. We were a group of 6 celebrating turning 60 and our hosts did everything possible to make us feel special - from the Happy Birthday sign, to a Bundt Birthday Cake and chocolates, to navigating the boat around the sunset for the ideal photo opp. Tricia was very responsive and helpful in providing suggested apparel and lodging recommendations as Kent was for dining ones. The sailboat was clean, comfortable and accommodating for walking around and seating. It truly was a memorable time for all of us, especially when one said he isn't "WOW-ed" easily but this indeed exceeded his expectations. Thanks for the incredible experience - something to be talked about for years to come, bringing us all smiles.

My wife and I had the pleasure of starting our sailing journey with Erie Island Sailing school this past weekend. Tricia, Kent, Kerim, Captain Mike, and all the staff at Safe Harbor really made it an excellent experience! The amenities at Safe Harbor are amazing and the school staff made us feel comfortable and confident as we took our ASA 101 and 103 classes. Getting to stay on the boat in the harbor helped us gain insight to the sailing community/lifestyle we're so excited to have joined. Can't thank them enough for the experience and looking forward to continuing our education through them ASAP!

What a wonderful night to have a sunset cruise. The captain is very knowledgeable and was interesting to talk to. Beautiful sail boat with some interesting history. If you have the opportunity, please book a charter! Thank you!

5 stars for sure, what a great experience! This past weekend we completed ASA 101. I had zero previous sailing experience, our instructor Captain Mike was a wealth of knowledge and his decades of experience really underscored his passion for sailing. He made this learning experience not only fun but ensured we really understood the foundational concepts that will set us up for future success. If you've been thinking about learning to sail, look no further! I'll definitely be back to continue my learning at Erie Islands Sailing School.

Another great experience. I just completed my 3rd sailing class (ASA 104). A 3 day sailing lesson with overnight stays on Kelly's and Middle Bass Islands. Capt. Alan Jensen was an inspirational teacher and skipper. I learned everything I need to know to bareboat charter. Caribbean here I come!

Highly recommend Erie Islands Sailing School for anyone interested in sailing or being on the water. The entire process from sign up to follow up was very smooth. They were easy to contact and reach for any questions or complications. I took the ASA 101 Course. You get a physical booklet, along with digital access to prepare you for your on the water portion of the class. Our instructor, Captain Mike, is probably the best person you could have with a perfect blend of experience, enthusiasm, and professionalism. This company really is committed to making sailing available for anyone new to it.

Just took the ASA 105 Class Through EISS, excellent instructor and great location for class. free parking, close to food and local area attractions.
