Torresen Marine, Inc. offers an American Sailing Association (ASA) certified sailing school. Your ASA certification is recognized world-wide by sailing organizations and bare-boat charter facilities.
The Torresen Marine sailing school was founded for the purpose of sharing the pleasures that we have discovered in sailing. Come join us and you'll learn a skill that you'll enjoy the rest of your life.
Our staff is noted for the contagious enthusiasm they bring to their classes. That special feeling of fun and adventure on the water stays with you all of your sailing life. So does the thorough training that starts you sailing confidently the very first day.
Sailing is the perfect leisure activity. Sailing is relaxing during beautiful sunset cruises and also exciting and fast during high wind sailing. Sailing is ecologically in harmony with nature and can take you places that you've never been before.
Our sailing school emphasizes individual instruction and stresses safety and sailing for the sheer fun of it. With the best sailing instruction available you will be able to sail easier, faster and with more confidence at all levels from Basic to Advanced Coastal Cruising.
Our courses are intimate for maximum interaction between students and instructor. We usually do not permit more than four students and one instructor in each boat (five people from one family will be allowed -- please ask about this when you register). This assures you of individual attention as well as plenty of sailing time to sharpen your skills and gain confidence.
Our instructors are certified through the American Sailing Association. Their easy Learn-to-Sail method will assure you of high quality instruction. Knowledge and appreciation of the Great Lakes is conveyed through the instructor so you will gain important local knowledge as well as a complete practical experience.
The entire staff shares a concern for the ecology and preservation of the Great Lakes which imparts a unique attitude of dedication and purpose to the Torresen Marine, Inc. Sailing School.
