Intro to Sailing For The Family
Come enjoy a fun and engaging introduction to sailing aboard our Hobie® Wave catamarans! Using our "quick-start" method, this session is designed to get participants ages 6 and up confidently sailing on the waters of Green Bay in no time. It’s a hands-on, on-the-water experience that’s perfect for beginners and families looking to try something new together.
This program is built for families of four, but we know that "family" comes in all shapes and sizes. Whether it's your sibling, cousin, grandparent, or a neighbor who feels like family, we welcome them as part of your crew.
Join us for a safe, exciting, and memorable day on the water—we can’t wait to sail with you!
