Peter Island Offers New Learn-To-Sail and Spa Bootcamp Adventures
Learn-To-Sail

Renowned as the sailing capital of the Caribbean and a favored destination among yachtsmen, sailors and pirates of yore, there's no better place to learn to sail than the British Virgin Islands. Peter Island Resort's Learn-To-Sail package includes:

• 5 nights accommodation in a Beach Front Junior Suite or Ocean View Room
• 3 days of sailing instruction with Swain Sailing School on an IC24, 24' keelboat with a tiller
• All meals including unlimited picnics
• Other complimentary amenities including water sports instruction, yoga classes, night-lit outdoor tennis courts and more

Guests will learn to sail in the BVI's navigable Caribbean waters that are ideal for getting one's sea legs. The first two days of sailing school include 4 hours of one-on-one sailing and 1 hour of classroom instruction. On day three, students have another 4 hours of sailing and take the U.S. Sailing Association's Basic Keelboat certification exam. Aspiring sailors will also receive a textbook, logbook and a one-year membership to the U.S. Sailing Association. Students who successfully complete the course and pass the exam will receive internationally recognized US Sailing Basic Keelboat certification. All the key elements of sailing are covered including sailing terminology, marine rules and regulations, techniques, tacks and jibes, right-of-way, points-of-sail, sailing knots, reefing, anchoring and much more. The program is available to singles, couples and families for up to 4 people. Rates for the Learn-To-Sail package start at $4,700 for two people in an Ocean View Room, and $6,393 for two in a Beach Front Junior Suite. Rates do not include tax or service charges. This package is pending availability and is not combinable with other offers. Additional nights of accommodation, more sailing school days and/or additional sailing school students may be added at prevailing rates. For those who know how to sail and want to perfect their skills and get certified, a one-day Basic Keelboat Challenge course is available. Guests who want to dip their toes in to a less intensive sailing experience can inquire about Swain Sailing School's 3-hour Introduction to Sailing course. For additional information and reservations, please email Peter Island Resort's reservations team at reservations@peterisland.net or call 1-800-346-4451.

For guests looking to enjoy the sailing capital of the Caribbean with someone else at the helm, Peter Island Resort also offers an Ashore/Afloat Sailing Package that includes 5 nights of on-island accommodation and 2 nights aboard Peter Island's crewed 51' Hans Christian sailboat, Silmaril. The Silmaril also offers sunset sails and private charters for Peter Island guests.
