Become a Sailing Instructor

If you love the sport of sailing and wish to share it with other people, you should consider becoming a sailing instructor.

Most of the instructors at our school are "hobby-professionals."  They have full time jobs and teaching sailing on weekends and weekday evenings is a way they relax, unwind and make themselves and others happy.  We also have a group of professional sailing instructors who teach sailing and do other marine related activities on a full time basis.

You can become either a part-time or full-time instructor at our sailing school.

What does it take to be a great sailing instructor?  Mostly it takes good communication and people skills.  If you have the passion and can communicate and listen, then you can be a great instructor.

Salary range $15-$20 per hour depending on experience, certifications and incentives.  Health insurance available to full time employees after 6 months.
