Wrightsville Beach Sailing

Learn to sail aboard one of our 14’ Hobie Catamarans or get sailing certified by taking Soundside’s American Sailing Association (ASA) Courses.  The course is family-friendly and welcomes all ages over 13, with no previous boating experience required.
Hands-on training includes open water sailing, docking, anchoring, etc. Upon graduation, you will receive ASA certification, and you will be ready to safely and confidently skipper boats of 20 ft. On completion of your certificate, you can rent the J/22 on your own to further develop your skills and confidence.

Set sail aboard Bella, our 44' catamaran! On this half-day (4hr) private charter, you will sail around the waterways of Wrightsville Beach and Atlantic Ocean. You'll work with your captain to plan your perfect itinerary of islands and local spots. Upon anchoring, the crew will dinghy you around wherever you'd like to go!
This beautiful boat is our newest addition to the fleet and is fully equipped with air conditioning, generator, sound system, grill, and many comfortable spots to relax! Enjoy all the comforts of home while out on the water.
Customize this cruise to your liking - enjoy a serene Masonboro Island, party at Palm Tree Island, swing on a rope swing along the ICW, or stop for drinks at Dockside's waterfront bar.

The 14’ Hobie Wave is an excellent craft to learn the basics. With its stability and single sail, the Hobie Wave is ideal for the shallow waters of our sound. It's responsive yet forgiving–and very fast!
Our certified instructors will show you the ropes. If you have sailing experience, our instructors will take you through a quick vetting process and you’ll be on your way.
