Create a lifetime of memories! Learn how to Sail.

SunsetSailing is fun on so many levels.  There is an exhilarating, challenging and competitive side as well as a relaxing, calming and spiritual side – it’s whatever you want it to be.  Sailing is an activity you can enjoy alone or with your family and friends, and you can enjoy it for your entire lifetime.  Founded in 1975 and now the largest full time program on the Potomac, the Mariner Sailing School is the answer to your sailing goals.

We look forward to sailing with you soon!
