Private Lessons


Three hour private sailing lessons are offered throughout the summer.  All private lessons are taught with an on board instructor in a Flying Scot. Flying Scots generally accommodate one, two, or three students (at least one of whom must be at least 18 years of age). It is not uncommon for two or more family members to share a lesson. Larger groups may require two boats, each with an instructor. Children sailing with a parent must be at least 6 years old and able to swim.

Schedule a Private Lesson

Please schedule private lessons at least a week in advance whenever possible. Lessons are $350 for three hours per required instructor and contingent on the availability of instructors and boats. All private lessons use Flying Scots.

Interested in Racing?

DCSS students who are learning to race or advancing their racing skills are invited to participate in Wednesday evening races; however, regular weekend racing requires membership in Deep Creek Yacht Racing Association (DCYRA). ​
All sailors must wear life jackets at all times while on or near the water.
