Beginner
I recently completed the week-long Beginner course with Sailing Virgins in the British Virgin Islands. It was BEYOND what I could have imagined! Had the time of my life!! Eight of us, now all friends, spent the week on a 53’ foot sailboat traipsing around and between the BVI. I learned for myself that there is NOTHING that compares to feeling the wind on your face from a sail in the Caribbean. I’m hooked.

I can’t recommend Sailing Virgins enough! If you’re considering learning how to sail, this is the way to do it! Since taking my course with Sailing Virgins, I’ve chartered a sailboat in Croatia and bought my own 31-foot sailboat here in Canada. 10/10 perfect score!

Sailing Virgins is an amazing company to learn with! We learned SOOOO much about sailing a catamaran AND had a wonderful fun time doing so. I have taken previous classes with them and the instructors are always fantastic. Super easy-going yet knowledgeable and make learning a lot of fun. Everything was well planned, the boats were great and the vibe even better! Will certainly continue sailing with them! I originally traveled on my own and felt super safe and cared for. Highly recommend Sailing Virgins if you are a solo traveler - male or female. You will make wonderful friends!

SV gives the best combination of fun and learning, giving everyone the chance to get the most out of the experience. Instructors are open books, locations are astonishing and friendship remains active with sailing partners we had the chance to meet there. It is a highly recommended experience, don't think it twice!

I can’t thank you enough for starting Sailing Virgins. I don’t know if we would have ever actually had the balls to charter a boat without a little bit of instruction and we still daydream about Tahiti constantly... we did the catamaran course there and it was one of our favorite weeks of our lives. We seriously would recommend these guys to ANYONE who wants to learn to sail, it’s a perfect mix of fun and instruction and obviously it works!

The Croatian intermediate course was easily the best week of vacation I’ve ever spent. The instruction was superb— our two instructors were young and energetic, but still had probably a dozen Atlantic crossings and multiple circumnavigations between them. The learning was tailored to each of the students on board (with plenty of opportunity to review or go very deep), and the instructors emphasized practice over isolated theory, throwing in practical tips, tricks, and stories from their extensive experience.

Sailing Croatia
We sailed Croatia on a mono hull as a Family (4 kids ages 7-16) and had such a great time.
My wife and I did the ASA104 bareboat course with Oran as our skipper.
Oran is a great guy and even better skipper!
Croatia is an amazing sailing destination, I can't recommend Croatia or Sailing Virgins and Oran high enough.
