Captains Dutch, Kevin and Patrick were incredibly patient and had excellent attention to detail. Dutch always noticed when I was struggling with a knot or over correcting my course and would calmly steer me in the correct direction each time. No question was too ridiculous and they made sure we all understood the concept before moving on in class. It was not easy, in fact the opposite and the tests were intimidating but as long as you pay attention and practice you will pass. We plan to come back and charter a boat on our own next time and hopefully grab a drink with Dutch to catch h up and share stories.

The Fast Track to Cruising was a fantastic course that places you in the drivers seat and reveals all the knowledge and effort it takes to be a proficient cruiser. This is no holiday, but a real sailing boot-camp and worth every penny. Active daily hands-on learning and evening exams, you need to study up before you go to get the most out of the course. I learned so much from the extremely qualified, professional staff and realized that sailing is so much fun and also a great deal of work. We look forward to chartering some cats with family and building on what we've learned, that's the confidence the Offshore Sailing School has given to me and we are still kicking around the idea of live-aboard - one day!

We enjoyed it so much and will definitely recommend it to all our friends and family. Captain Joe was professional, friendly and went over all the details about the boat before setting out. His friend David and his wife Nanette were the only other ones with us and they were really nice noting points of interest along the trip and giving us some good restaurant recommendations. Seeing the sun set over Sanibel Island while out on a sailboat is something that we will always remember. It was magnificent!

There was another sign that there's a high bacteria level and wading is not recommended. Enjoy the park and being near the water! [Review 398 of 2025 - 2045 in Florida - 23960 overall]

Lee County Parks & Recreation took over responsibility of the North Shore Bridge Access from the State of Florida in August of 1987. A pier was added to the park in 2000 which was paid for with proceeds from the three cent bed tax imposed on short-term tourist stays in Lee County. The park is home to the Edison Sailing Center which offers sailing and power boat safety lessons here. Note that although North Shore Park has a beach, swimming is not permitted. Restroom facilities are port a potties. I enjoyed taking a walk on the trail that runs from the parking lot to the base of the bridge. You can get a stunning view of the river, especially at sunset.
