Private Sailing and Windsurfing lessons:

Sail Martha’s Vineyard offers private sailing and windsurfing lessons (during the Summer Camp season) on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 3 pm to 5 pm. Private lessons are $125 per person for a one-hour lesson without a membership, or $75/hour with a membership. Two-person lessons are also available. Click here to schedule a time. Lessons will run from June 24 through August 15. Learn more about Adult Lessons here. 

Weather policy:

There will be no refunds or make-up classes when a class is canceled, shortened, or delayed due to weather.

Cancellation policy:

There will be no refunds given after May 1st.

Due to a large number of Island students either canceling their bookings outside of the notice period or simply not attending their courses, unless there is a medical reason for their absence, any no-shows or cancellations made with less than a month’s notice will result in access to “Island Scholarships” being revoked for the following season.

Photography policy:

Sail MV reserves the right to use photos and videos of children participating in its programs for promotional purposes.

All Programs and Lessons are held at the Sail MV Boathouse
