Nantucket Community Sailing’s seasonal instructors are highly qualified, with certifications from US Sailing, the Irish Sailing Association, or equivalent. All hold First Aid, CPR, CDC Concussion, and SafeSport credentials. Many are top college sailors or competitive racers, while others learned right here on Nantucket and bring valuable local knowledge. Most importantly, our team loves sailing—and teaching it!
