At Sail Olympia we strive to share our love for the water, teaching, great food, and adventure with others.
Sail Olympia is that dream: a sailing school that focuses not only on technical competencies but on partnering and communication. In addition to bringing our experience sailing as a couple and our backgrounds in education, we want to focus on the details that turn a certification class into the ultimate vacation — excellent food, a relaxing environment, and wonderful company.
THE BOAT
Meritage is a 382 Dufour Grand Large.Â
Dufour yachts are known for their speed, comfort, and exceptional fit and finish. The boat features a spacious, wide cockpit with a fold-down transom making it the perfect place to sip on a glass of wine at anchor or in harbor after a long day of sailing. With three cabins onboard, everyone can also have a bit of privacy on our trips.Â
The area
Located at the southern tip of the Puget Sound, Olympia is a short distance from both Portland and Seattle but still maintains the charm of a small community.
In Budd Inlet you can learn to sail in perfect conditions without worrying about ferry traffic or ultra-crowded marinas. On multi-day trips, we’re able to explore the islands and small towns of the Puget Sound and, if we’re lucky, spot some of the magnificent wildlife that calls it home.
the food
We work with local vendors to get the freshest local produce, bread, meats, and seafood, so that we can serve you delicious meals onboard.
Some of our suppliers include:
– Colvin Ranch
– Taylor Shellfish Farms
– The Bread Peddler
– Batdorf & Bronson Coffee
We are happy to accommodate special dietary restrictions and are extremely vegetarian and vegan friendly.
