Corpus Christi, Texas is one of the windiest coastal cities in the USA which makes it a great place to learn. The class durations are from a weekend up to a 5 day liveaboard. Private instruction is also available. Use the Sailing Lessons link to get additional information. All of my classes are scheduled through the Yachting Center Corpus Christi. Please call them or visit their page to book a class. If you desire additional information on moving or delivering your boat to another location, use my contact link.

During our sailing schools we use the Corpus area marinas listed on the Corpus Christi Area Marinas link. Typically we operate boats with 6' draft. However, if you are new to the area, please call your selected marina ahead of time to check for approach information and availibility.

Why do we sail? Herman Melville said it best in his 1851 novel Moby Dick!

"Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off- then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me."

Visiting Corpus Christi? Corpus has great local restaurants. The seafood restaurants are particularly good. But we have them all: Italian restaurants, Chinese restaurants, Steakhouses, and Japanese restaurants. Use the Shore Leave link to locate a restaurant, nightclub, or a cozy little bar or lounge.

We have been to all of the listed venues, a few on a regular basis. We would not mention them if we thought you would not enjoy them also ! The majority of the listed Corpus Christi restaurants, bars and nightclubs are located downtown, but...so are the boats. Salude !
