Keelboat Courses

Continuing the tradition

Pacific Wayfinder Sailing Academy is a US Sailing accredited sailing school based in Balena Isle Marina, Alameda, that offers certifications of the US Sailing program.

We are proud to collaborate with Rabbit Hole Sailing, LLC and Califia Charters, LLC, who offer bareboat charter opportunities out of the same marina in Alameda, CA. Together, and through our collaboration, we are able to provide a complete US Sailing instruction and certification pathway as an Accredited Keelboat School.

As we launch this first phase of instruction, we will begin by scheduling three on-the-water programs and a moderated Safety-at-Sea certification.

• Basic Cruising
• Bareboat Charter
• Coastal Passage Making
• Safety at Sea

We will post details of course schedule and pricing soon on this website. If you are interested in any of these courses please fill out a short survey that will help us in planning this year’s program.
