Sailboat Rentals
In order to rent our sailboats you must be checked off on that specific sailboat by either completing the prerequisite class at MBAC or completing a 2-hour orientation/check-off if you have previous sailing experience. We are a self-service rental facility and when you rent a sailboat you are required to launch, rig, de-rig, and clean up your equipment.
Regardless of sailing experience and ability, you MUST complete at least a 2-hour private lesson with one of our instrcutors. During your lesson you will be shown where the equipment is stored, how to rig and launch, demonstrate your sailing ability, complete a capsize and recovery, and be shown how to de-rig and store the equipment properly. You can book a small boat sailing private lesson here.
