On-Water Training | Continuing Sail Canada Education | Canoe Cove Marina, Sidney BC
Ready to put your certification to work? Our Mileage Builder sessions are designed for certified sailors who want to build real sea time, deepen their practical skills, and grow their confidence through extended liveaboard training in the Gulf Islands.
These are active, instructor-led training sessions — not charters. You are the crew.
Who This Is For
This program is designed for students who have completed the Sail Canada Basic Crew standard and are ready to continue their sailing education in a liveaboard format.
Whether you are working toward greater independence as a skipper, logging structured sea time, or developing skills beyond the classroom, these sessions are tailored to your goals and experience level.
These sessions are also well suited to couples or small groups with mixed experience levels. Each student is coached individually, so everyone progresses at their own pace — together, on the same boat.
