FAQs

  • What can On Watch teach me about sailing?

    The sailors and staff of On Watch can provide those seeking sailing guidance with in-depth instruction and sailing tips from cruising your boat to upkeeping your vessel. Drawing upon extensive personal and practical experience, our sailors can help guests navigate the seas for their own sailing adventures. Passengers should already have a basic knowledge of sailing before boarding.

  • What should I wear when going sailing?

    It is recommended to dress in layers while sailing. Ocean breezes make it cooler on the water and passengers may be more comfortable with a light jacket or sweatshirt. Don’t forget to bring sunblock, water, a good hat, soft-soled shoes or sneakers, and a camera.
