Leave the cold behind and set sail for the Bahamas this winter—we’d love to have you aboard! ⛵

With just a few courses left this season, there’s still time to earn your Basic Cruising certification and head into 2026 with two sailing club memberships and a new skill under your belt. ⛵️

If you’ve been meaning to get certified, now’s a great time. The weather’s still good, the class sizes are small, and you’ll be learning alongside others who are just as excited to be out on the water. 🌊

By the end of the course, you’ll feel confident handling a keelboat, docking, trimming sails, anchoring, and navigating safely. Plus, upon successful completion, you’ll walk away with your Basic Cruising Sail Canada certification—and the freedom that comes with it.

Get on board before it’s too late, sign up online today 👉https://advantageboating.com/home-2/…
