They were so easy to contact and provided the most incredible cheese to go with the margaritas that we brought along. None of the bridesmaids nor the bride are avid sailors (2 had never been on a sailboat) and Jeff made us feel at ease. The day had a bit of rain but cleared into a light misting for our trip and we were able to enjoy the ride without the cover for most of it. The father and son team is hilarious and kept us joking around with them the whole time. Would highly recommend their service and definitely will return soon!

I thought it would be awkward and I'd be the oldest or least experienced person in the class but not even close. Everyone is welcomed here. The courses were casual and comfortable and taught me basic skills to get me independently out on the water. And the CSC staff were knowledgeable, friendly, kind, patient, and supportive throughout my experience. And once you've learned how to sail, if you don't have a boat or a place to put one... the rentals and reasonably priced season pass practically guarantee you (and any friends or family you might want to bring along) at least a couple hours a day out on a sailboat (or a kayak or paddleboard if there's no wind lol) for the whole summer. It's hard to beat sailing on beautiful Lake Champlain on a sunny and breezy summer day!! If you've ever wanted to sail but couldn't or were hesitant... it's not too late and this is a great place to do it!

Nice amount of wind to make it interesting, but not too intense and, since it was so hot on shore, the perfect place to be. Dave is super knowledgeable, comfortable with teaching - my 14 year old stepson loved learning all about sailing and taking the helm with his assistance. I couldn't recommend the trip more if you are in Plattsburgh.

I took five teenagers on this trip, and from day one Captain Mike made them feel like true crew members -- not just passengers. He has a natural gift for teaching and kept the teens fully engaged the entire time. They were hands-on with everything: learning the mechanics of how a boat moves through the water, taking turns at the helm steering, navigating our routes, tying up at the dock, refueling, and handling lines like pros by the end of the week. Captain Mike struck the perfect balance between safety, structure, and fun. He was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure each teen learned real sailing skills and gained confidence on the water. It was amazing to watch them grow more capable and self-assured each day. If you're looking for an unforgettable sailing experience -- especially for teens who want to truly learn and participate -- Captain Mike is the one to call. We're already talking about our next trip!
