We Threw Traditional Boating Club Models Overboard – For You

With our clubs, your training is included. Our Applied Boating Mastery™ method takes you from novice to building your confidence, calm, and skill so when it’s time for you to go solo, you’re ready without any doubt.

San Francisco Bay’s Only Powerboat School
If you value your time, your money, and your competence on the water, private lessons are the fastest path to mastery. Group classes have to move at the pace of the slowest learner. We move at your pace, targeting the skills you actually need, skipping what you already know, and turning every hour into progress (not waiting around).
Our Applied Boating Mastery™ approach is built on how people learn real-world skill: one-on-one coaching, real-time feedback, and targeted drills, supported by self-paced online modules you can access anytime. That means less classroom drag, more time practicing the right things, and stronger retention and confidence—often in about half the time. Every lesson hour is spent building skill, calm, and command on the water.
International Charter License For Power or Sail
If chartering internationally is in your future, now is the time to prepare. Whether you’re headed to the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, or anywhere that requires formal credentials, we provide the most widely recognized and respected training and certifications available.
Earn your NauticEd SLC or SLC-p International License for sail or power, or your Bareboat Charter Certificate. Add a catamaran endorsement to open even more charter opportunities.
We offer the only escape from stress designed to bring you back into the world with more resilience and the tools to reset as needed.
Your brain and body are wired to downshift near the ocean – the horizon, rhythm, motion, and salt air create a fast “back online” effect you can feel. Sea Change Immersions harness that natural state change and turn it into an exhilarating reset-day: sailing plus movement, breath, and practical neuroscience-informed tools that lift mood, steady emotions, reduce snap-reactivity (and the stress-bias that comes with it), and restore clearer, more expansive thinking.
You leave calm and invigorated, with a simple toolkit you can use off the boat. Explore the options – YogaFlow Sailing and MindFlow Sailing – and choose your flow.
