Simply Sailing
The sailing school is based on Granville Island, Vancouver, BC. We are registered with International Yacht Training (IYT) and Sail Canada (CYA). Simply Sailing offers all levels of sailing classes from the basic to offshore training. We also offer shore-based navigation and VHF courses. |
Course Location
Most of our courses leave from Granville Island, Vancouver. Basic sail training takes place in English Bay and Howe Sound. The intermediate and advanced classes take students to the spectacular Gulf Islands, Desolation Sound and around Vancouver Island. |
After the Course - Keep Sailing
After successfully completing the sailing course we encourage students to join the West Coast Sailing Club. This is a fantastic opportunity to stay connected with fellow sailors, make new friends, and create treasured sailing memories. |
