Sea Sense Boating School
The Women's, Men's, Couples, Families', and Organizations' Sailing & Powerboating
School
Sea Sense offers an incredible variety of educational experiences for women,
men, families, and organizations throughout the U.S. and internationally.
Are you looking for a few days on the water as an introduction or a refresher to sailing or powerboating? Perhaps you're thinking more of a 5 or 7 day learning experience, an advanced coastal cruising course or long-distance passagemaking? Maybe your heart yearns for an international sailing or powerboating destination in which to learn more about boating. We can do it!
And that's not all! SEA SENSE is making it easier for you to take private On Your Own Boat© courses - sail or power. Or, if you're planning to move your boat to a new cruising ground and want to make the most of the passage, SEA SENSE can provide "teaching deliveries" personalized to your needs, where you learn as you go.
In the News
THERE’S A NEW CAPTAIN ON
BOARD
This is the worst weather we’ve ever had for this,” Capt. Carol Cuddyer said at
the beginning of our two-day “Women-Only Boat Handling” class at Trawler Fest
University. So gale-force winds and sheeting rain are not common to picturesque
Anacortes, Washington, in May?
It was 8:30 a.m. on the first morning of the class, and 16 of us were tucked
indoors at the W.T. Preston Snagboat Heritage Center in Cap Sante Boat Haven,
sipping Starbucks and introducing ourselves. The students hailed from
California, Oregon, and Washington. Instructors Patti Moore and Carol Cuddyer of
Sea Sense, a women’s boating school based in St. Petersburg, Florida, had
traveled the farthest to get here.
Our stories were vastly different, but our reasons for being here were the
same—to blossom from competent crew to confident captains. We were looking for a
maritime makeover.

Learn to Love Boating Together
By Kim Kavin
Gates Richards describes his wife, Margy, as “5-foot-2, if I’m being generous.” He’s not sure whether it was her size, her gender, or a combination of the two that shocked a boater who gawked, eyes bulging, as Margy stood at the helm of a 42-foot Grand Banks trawler yacht and navigated it flawlessly into a marina slip.
