ABOUT TIKITOURS SAILING SCHOOL

TikiTours Sailing School teaches Canadian Yachting Association 'Learn To Cruise' (LTC) sailing courses, which are yachting courses as opposed to small-boat 'Learn To Sail' (LTS) courses. The school was founded with the concept of offering the the highest standards in sailing instruction, taught out of the finest sailing areas available in Vancouver, BC, Canada. TikiTours Sailing School's students immediately become confident and respected sailors, and move on to become some of the best on the water. 80% of our students become yacht owners within the first year, with achievements such as bringing their boats into their marinas under sail alone, long cruises, single-handed sailing and even racing their boats the next season. 

Our training is excellent for personal development and motivation, stress relief, corporate teambuilding, or an inexpensive, educational vacation. Our main goal goal, however, is to help everyone achieve the 'means to the dreams', the most sought after dreams - those of freedom to sail the open oceans. We concentrate on applying course content to practice, whether that means day-sailing, crewing, chartering, yacht purchase, racing, or sailing around the world. TikiTours Sailing School will get you started quickly on your way. Our classes flex with weather conditions and your own schedule, and most sailing days can be completed as days or evenings. We strive to surpass all other sailing schools in both quality and intensity, and make sure you get as much content as possible from our courses.

TikiTours Sailing School has over 25 years experience in racing/cruising, and in tropical pacific destinations including French Polynesia, Latin America, and Hawaii. A successful racing background means we can teach modern high-performance sailing techniques.

Since many of our students have sailing the southern oceans in their future plans, or simply like to entertain the notion in their dreams, TikiTours Sailing School teaches with this benchmark in focus. On top of course material, you will be exposed to many other aspects of the tropical sailing world such as travel strategies, lifestyle, and culture of these areas.
