The Sail Olympia Experience

Liveaboard luxury

Sail Olympia is for people who want the useful parts of a certification course without giving up the pleasures of travel: a luxury boat, natural beauty, and local food.

It was easily one of the best vacations we have had — toss in the training and certification and the trip was absolutely perfect.

Beth & Ben

Partnership is the heart of sailing, and we've made it the heart of our courses.

With two ASA certified instructors on board, each role can be coached separately during key skills such as docking so that you leave with collective confidence in combined skills.

Beth and Ben were amazing hosts and instructors and helped all of us feel right at home.

The South Sound

Long summer days, quiet harbors.

Olympia sits at the southern end of Puget Sound, close to Seattle and Portland but away from the busiest cruising grounds.

Tailored Trips

No two trips are exactly the same, because no two groups are the same.

No matter what your sailing background, Sail Olympia trips meet you where you are, focusing on building confidence and comfort on the water.
