Join a Sailing Adventure...

Since Tradewinds' training focus is on cruising, we offer our members the opportunity to experience cruising with other members and experienced skippers. Each year we pick locations that are popular old favorites or ones that are new to all of us.

Going on a group cruise gives you the chance to learn the ins and outs of chartering a boat, experience a week or more of living onboard including provisioning, cooking, and boat care, practically apply your navigation skills, and make new friends.

In addition to trips to Mexico, South Pacific, and Europe, we also take local trips along the Pacific west coast.

  Discover luxury cruising on a big cat with 4 private cabins, 4 private bathrooms, cockpits big enough for 2 dozen and plenty of room on the sun deck. Stable sailing, no rocking at night, push-button anchoring, and all the amenities you could wish for. This is a winter get-a-way you don’t want to miss, and a great way to recover from the holidays!
  
  David Kory and Tradewinds are offering this fabulous sailing vacation for the amazing low price of just $2,395 per person, which includes the yachts, airfare from San Francisco and local transfers--everything but food. (A big sailing magazine offers a 10-day trip, without airfare, for $4000 per person!) You are welcome to participate in sailing the yachts, or you can simply relax and enjoy the ride. A deposit of $895 per person guarantees your spot, with the balance due by November 1. This trip, like all of David’s adventures, will sell out quickly. Don’t Delay!
