Have you always wanted to learn to sail?
Phillips Boatworks adds two Hobie 18 catamarans to charter fleet for adult sail training and bareboat sailing.
Phillips Boatworks has added two Hobie 18 catamarans for adult sail training and boat rental in Avon on Hatteras Island, NC. If you are on vacation in Avon on Hatteras Island and know how to sail, you can take out the Hobie cats without a skipper under the right weather conditions. Sailing instruction taught by Hatteras Sailing Organization head coach, Jay Phillips.
Larger Performance Multihull
If you prefer a dryer sail, we can team aboard one of our larger performance charter catamarans, like a Stiletto-27.
Understanding the righting moment and proper handling of a larger performance multihull is an important sailing skill.
Small boat private sailing instruction
Ready to get onto the water and into the fun sport of small boat sailing? We have a 420 and a Flying Scott and can teach on either boat. If you participate in your local community sailing organization and want to level up, private instruction is also available on Optimist class.
