Your sailing experience is a great choice to introduce yourself to the sailing world in a casual, relaxed setting. This trip requires no prior sailing knowledge or experience. You have the option of participating to the extent you want; take the helm and be "master and commander" or sit back and relax on our foredeck bean bags as we tour Toronto’s harbour and enjoy the awesome cityscape centred around the CN Tower.
