Learn to Sail

Welcome to Buffalo's Seven Seas Sailing School, Our 54th Year in Pioneering American Community Sailing. Learn to Sail! 

New Classes Start Each Week Beginning in May, All Through Summer 

​

The cost is $390 per person ($690 for two persons and additional discounts for group) 

​

This includes: All materials and access included. You'll receive a two-hour classroom plus a two-hour dockside lesson. From there you'll have 7-10 two-hour on-water lessons with an instructor and one or two other students. Depending on weather and your confidence reach you should be able to graduate but should require more lessons they are at no charge in our guarantee to graduate you.  

​

What's more: After more than 50 years in business, Seven Seas has learned to be flexible with your busy time. 

1) New classes start each week all summer

2) We offer scheduling for work or family vacation, etcetera; simply rejoin our classes as you see fit. Because many of you are on call for business or profession we are flexible to schedule your continuing class visits.  

​

After graduation, you will be able to enjoy your new found skills by renting our sailboats in package deals or seasonally. Visit our rentals page for more information.

​

Please note: if you are already a seasoned sailor and wish for a season's pass for unlimited sailing the cost is only $650 and requires a free skills checkout with an instructor.
