Testimonials

J World San Francisco Bay, the Performance Sailing School and Club, was the only school in the nation to attain 100% customer satisfaction in the latest survey of sailing schools performed by Practical Sailor Magazine.  But don't just take their word for it... here's a sampling of what some of our students have had to say about the best sailing school in America. 

"For a non-sailor, this was the best introduction to the sport I can imagine.  I learned a tremendous amount from [my instructors], and as an added bonus, had a tremendous amount of fun!"
Anonymous course evaluation, 5/10/05

"Excellent!  Boats were great: modern, fast, well-equipped.  Lots of time on the water was great.  Instruction was a good mix of theory and practice.  Our instructors were terrific:  lots of knowledge and skills, with a great attitude to teach it all. "
