Far Horizons Offshore Sailing & Seamanship School provides adventurous, self-seeking individuals a serious opportunity to make their yearning for learning to sail a reality. The five day, 41 hour course in basic sailing and survival is taught both in a classroom setting and on one of a fleet of Coast Guard certified, 30 to 40 foot sloops. The comprehensive, interactive classes are limited to six students to allow for individual instruction and cover Boat Familiarization, Nautical Terminology, Basic Knots, Maritime Law & Rules of the Road, Emergency Equipment & Procedures, Safety & Survival, Radio Procedures, Dead Reckoning Navigation, Boat Handling, & Maintenance. Most of these subjects are taught on land & applied during three days of unrehearsed, wet and wild offshore sailing. An overnight sail becomes your final exam.

It should be understood that Far Horizons School is not for fun and pleasure, it is for adventure. Students will be put in various real-life situations & will get tired, cold, wet, sore, sun burned, and be required to stand watch when they would rather be sleeping. Students will float around in water, supported by no more than a few ounces of safety material, and assist in rescuing classmates in the water. But have no fear, you will love every minute of it! Classes will be held fair weather or foul, only being canceled in the event of a hurricane.

Students will not only attain knowledge, they will gain confidence in their own individual abilities both as a mariner and a person. They will graduate the class with a sense of accomplishment and will be prepared to handle the unexpected at sea.

Far Horizons operates year-round, offers group discounts and accepts most major credit cards: VISA, Master Card, Discover, and American Express. Reservations are required so please call us at (305) 538-7203 to guarantee your seat.
