Happy Sailing.

Start Keelboat Sailing Standard

A two-day introduction to keelboat handling aboard Sweetwater at Picton Harbour, leading to Sail Canada Start Keelboat Sailing certification. With four students per session, instruction stays hands-on across rigging, points of sail, and basic boat handling — the entry rung of the Sail Canada cruising pathway, with no experience needed to enroll.

$650 CAD + tax / person

The Afternoon Sail

A three-hour sail out of Historic Picton Harbour aboard a 36-foot cruising sailboat. Guests can take the helm or sit back and watch Prince Edward County's shoreline from the water — a low-commitment first taste of sailing for couples or small groups, with no experience required.

$100 / person (group of 4); $120 / person regular

The Half-Day Escape

Five hours along the Prince Edward County coastline with a swim stop at a hidden cove and an optional locally-sourced lunch aboard. Longer than the Afternoon Sail and built around exploration rather than instruction — for groups who want the full sailing-day arc without taking on a certification course.

$150 / person (group of 4); $175 / person regular

The Private Day Sail

A full-day private charter aboard Sweetwater with a dedicated skipper. Whole-boat exclusivity for up to six guests, with the day shaped around the group rather than a fixed itinerary — booked for milestones and small celebrations on the Bay of Quinte and Lake Ontario.

$1,050 for up to 6 people

Basic Cruising Standard

A four-day day-sailing course combining theory and on-water practical work, leading to Sail Canada Basic Cruising certification. Sessions cover boat handling, navigation fundamentals, and crew roles aboard Sweetwater at Picton Harbour. No prerequisites, four students per session.

Liveaboard Cruising Program
