Sailing Schools in USA, South Carolina

Learn to Sail. Improve your skills. Get Certified and Internationally Licensed.

South Carolina features some of the best sailing areas on the East Coast.

Charleston features a wonderfully protected large recreational sailing and sailing training area, also with direct access to the coast. Hilton Head is equally as attractive for learning to sail with its natural beauty of twisted waterways and wide open sailing areas. And, when you are ready for a sail out to a deserted beach for a picnic, there are plenty of choices. Come to South Carolina for sailing training. Stay at any of our wonderful resorts and enjoy professional sailing training at its best.

AJ Brannan

Private Instructor - Bluffton, SC, USA
Rated 4.76/5 by 46 students
I grew up on a small estuary in South Carolina. I began kayaking at the age of 4, first Jon boat at 6, and continued up to a 30ft offshore powerboat at 14. My love for the ocean compelled me to achieve a degree in Marine Biology (I'm the definition of a shark nut). After graduating I decided to move to the northwest to get a taste of the Pacific Ocean and got sucked into sailing - where I managed sailing schools and clubs in Seattle, Olympia, and Gig Harbor Washington. I love instructing - nothing compares to that little smirk everyone gets when we first heel over, and it just gets better from there!
