Sailing Certifications

J/World, the Performance Sailing School and Club provides all levels of sailing lessons and  offers certifications based on three standards. 

US Sailing Certification
US Sailing, the national governing body of the sport of sailing in the US, offers the most widely acknowledged sailor certification standards in the world. More...

J/World Sailing School and Club Certificates
Completion of a J/World course earns a J/World certificate, recognized by sailing associations, charter companies, and insurance companies around the world. 

We offer US Sailing Certification at no charge with many of our sailing classes. We feel that sailing certification, while important, is not imperative for all of our students. Certifications are not themselves a goal.  The goal of sailing courses is to teach safe and efficient practices and to build experience.  J/World Sailing School and Sailing Club has been teaching sailing longer than any authority has been certifying sailors.  We are proud that our sailing courses are more comprehensive and challenging than ANY standard.  If you just want to get certified, there are places you can go and spend less money and less time. 

But if you really want to learn to sail, or to sail better, come to J/World.

We offer sailing certification as an option for students that will be chartering boats in the future and want to have a recognized log book for keeping records of their sailing. There is a written and practical portion of each exam with each sailing certification.
