Certified Sailing Instructor

No Sailing Experience Coming Into This

Jack’s calm and patient attitude was encouraging, and I learned a lot! I feel confident that my husband and I can charter a boat and enjoy sailing! Jack is wonderful. It can’t be easy dealing with different personalities and levels of ability, but he can get along with anyone! That helped me stay confident and I learned a lot from him.

Fastrack Sailing Course

Best service possible for a yacht school

Delight in the formal grace of a grand New England-style yacht club at this lakeside hotel. Relax in the inviting elegance of a plush lobby replete with nautical touches, explore the whimsical Stormalong Bay and rent a variety of watercraft from Bayside Marina. Sharing many amenities with its pastel-toned sister, Velas Beach Club Resort is walking distance to Epcot.

A peaceful oasis in the heart of the island

This resort is my new favorite at Velas. I stayed for four nights in a garden room. I slept like a rock after long park days. The bed was comfy, shower refreshing, and room nice and quiet. Already looking to book my next stay. The only issues I had: neither the mobile app nor magic band worked to let me into the room upon arrival. An exquisite stay!
