Learn to Sail in Paradise

Learning to sail is more than picking up a new hobby — it's earning a certified life skill recognized across Canada and around the world. Our Sail Canada certification programs give you the credentials and confidence to charter boats, join crews, and explore coastlines on your own terms.

Happy Sailing offers courses in two world-class destinations: the sheltered waters of Prince Edward County on Lake Ontario and the crystal-clear turquoise seas of the Exumas, Bahamas. Whether you dream of weekend sails close to home or offshore adventures in the Caribbean, we have a course designed for your goals.

With a maximum of 4 students per course, you'll get more helm time, more one-on-one attention, and faster progression than at larger schools. Our instructors don't just teach — they mentor, adapting every lesson to your experience level and learning pace.

No experience is required to get started. From complete beginners taking their first tack to experienced sailors earning their Intermediate Cruising certification, our progressive curriculum meets you exactly where you are and takes you further than you thought possible.
