Don’t just learn to sail... Become a Sailor!

As a student at Black Rock Sailing School in Boston Harbor, you will receive world class sailing instruction on the best training boats available and receive internationally recognized ASA certifications upon successful course completion. We specialize in training our students at the highest level; whether they dream of bareboat chartering a yacht in exotic locations around the world, or wish to simply explore their local cruising grounds.

Courses at Black Rock offer comprehensive, hands-on instruction. Our program is purposefully small, allowing us to focus on a few students at a time, providing unprecedented support before, during, and after their graduation. Our proven curriculum is both fun and rigorous, providing you with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to take command of a boat on your own.

At BRSS, you will also be proud to sail aboard our boats. During our courses, students spend a majority of their time out on the water, so we insist on teaching aboard the best sailboat designs which provide an ideal combination of safety, stability, comfort, performance, and speed. We have the youngest, most reliable fleet of any major sailing school in Massachusetts.
