Sometimes you get lucky. Where to start to learn about sailing basics in beautiful Puget Sound? We read the reviews and chose Windworks with fingers crossed. Our charter was a six hour mix of instruction and cruising with a stop for lunch a stone's throw from the Winslow Wharf on Bainbridge Island. We sailed on The Lucky Dog skippered by Captain Justin. Justin tailored the day, patiently and encouragingly, for each person's interest and ability. He was a fount of knowledge and gave us many thrills with hands-on experience in maneuvering and lots of coaching on correct terminology (and knot tying!). It was a treasured day of shared family time and a relaxed and fun introduction to sailing with an entertaining and experienced skipper. There is a sailing club and we plan to be back!

My charter experience was excellent. The Bavaria 37 was in superb condition. The checkout process clear and concise. The vessel was reliable and performed well in a fresh breeze. We’ll be back again soon to do it all again.
