Sail Nauticus is a Norfolk-based, nonprofit sailing school and community sailing center unlike anything else in the Hampton Roads region. They provide a variety of activities including sailing cruises, adult sailing lessons, an expansive membership program and popular Summer Camps. As a community sailing program, they create accessible opportunities for individuals to get out on the water via group outing programs and through guided sails and courses.

Sail Nauticus offers two U.S. Sailing Courses: First Sails, a fun, informal 2-hour sail to test the waters and Learn to Sail a weekend-long course where you can train, study and be guided through the process to earn your Keelboat Certification. Group outings and corporate retreats are available as well.
