Cape Sail : 2008 Rates

Captained sailing charters
Cape Cod Sailing lessons aboard the Sabatical Three-hour trips are the most popular and cost $95 per person. Six-hour trips are $175 per person; there is a two-person minimum and six-person maximum. Couples who desire privacy for that special occasion are asked to pay for three and then we will not book any other individuals for that trip. Children under 12 years $20 off. These trips can be arranged for anytime of day or night, sunset, moonlight, etc. Other durations by arrangement. Charters longer than three hours are only done as private charters. I recommend two-hour trips for groups with young children ($75 per adult/$55 per child). Six-person charters are discounted from $570 to $500 for the three-hour trip. Other durations discounted 10% for six people.

Overnight sailing charters are $1050 for two persons and $150 for each additional person. Docking costs are additional, although a free mooring is usually available for us at Nantucket.

Sailing lessons
Cost for one person is $75 per hour: additional persons at $40 per hour. For example, a couple learns to sail for $230 per two-hour lesson: $690 for two persons to complete the six-hour course.

Overnight Lessons - recommended for those with some experience who are considering cruising their own boat or doing a bare boat charter. Typically this is a Nantucket trip which involves about six hours of sailing instruction each day. Cost is $1250 for one or two sailors and includes navigation, chartwork, piloting and more. Three days and two nights ( usually Nantucket and Marthas's Vineyard ) are priced at $1875. Other durations are available - create your own sailing school vacation.

Take advantage of our off-season overnight sailing specials, before June 25th and after Labor Day. Off-season prices are $875 for two person charters, $1050 for two person lessons, and three days and two nights lessons are $1575.
