Carolina Beach Discovery Sails

Set Sail With Us!

We invite you join in on an amazing sailing excursion with Island Bound Sailing Academy out of the Carolina Beach Yacht Club. Feel free to participate as much as you’d like, or simply sit back, relax and enjoy the beautiful view as we slip away from the dock past the Carolina Beach Yacht Harbor to our exciting sailing grounds.

 

Let our professional staff of USCG licensed Captains and sailing instructors welcome you and your guests aboard for an experience like no other in beautiful Carolina Beach. Our Captains have a passion for helping people enjoy the magic of sailing, so feel free to ask questions, or take a turn winding a winch, raise a sail, or even take your hand at the helm, catching the wind as our ship slips along over the water. All are encouraged, experienced or not, to take part or just kick back, talk like a pirate and enjoy the ride!

​

While we are having fun playing with the wind, don’t forget to look for local wildlife. Pelicans and Sea Turtles often swing by for a peek, and sometimes dolphin visitors show up racing our bow.
