OCC Waterfront Campus and Marina Park
Private lessons are available with a certified instructor for all skill levels at the OCC Waterfront Campus and at Marina Park.
A private lesson is a one-on-one experience that works well as a confidence builder, as an introduction to sailing, or to allow focus on improving specific skills, or to make up a missed class. A private lesson with an OCC instructor will take your ability to the next level with individual learning and feedback.
Private lessons are typically taught in 3-hour sessions (except for powerboat instruction), scheduled at a time that is convenient for you, and based on instructor availability.
