J World Performance Sailing - San Diego 2240 Shelter Island Drive, San Diego, CA 92106

"I have had the most wonderful experience with J World and their incredible team. I recently completed my third course with them (2 were in San Diego, the last was in Puerto Vallarta) to earn my Bareboat Certification. Everyone at the organization is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and fun. Within each course I feel like I double or triple my sailing knowledge, skill and comfort. Something I love is that the instructors personalize the experience based on your specific experience and goals. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this program to any aspiring sailors who are serious about improving and learning real-life skills on the water! Thanks so much to Casey, Paul, Suzie and Wayne for putting together such a world class sailing operation. I will definitely be taking more racing courses and hopefully join some of the offshore races soon!"

"Took the Learn to Sail, Performance Cruising, and Intro to Sailboat Racing courses in San Diego this winter. Learned so much from the instructors David and Collin and had a lot of fun on the water. I think that anyone who wants to learn more about sailing or racing should consider taking classes with J World. I am already planning to take more courses in the future and I am looking forward to applying what I’ve learned when I get on the water this summer."

"This team is incredible! Everyone was so patient, knowledgable, professional, and kind. I did the "zero to hero" path of going from no sailing experience to earning a bareboat charter certification in 10 days! It was intense, but totally doable. I took the classes in Puerto Vallarta which is an *amazing* place to learn, since the bay here always has great wind, and the coast has lots of amazing little towns to explore. If you've ever wondered if liveaboard sailing is for you, I highly suggest doing a multi-day cruise with them. You'll get a realistic feeling for what it's like to be on the water for an extended period of time. Believe me, it's even better than you imagine it to be :) If you're just interested in the mechanics of sailing, their basic keelboat classes are unique in that they use tiny little JBoat sailboats which are essentially the equivalent of Ducati motorcycles, so you feel every single shift in the wind or adjustments you make to the rigging. It's a seriously good way to begin internalizing the principles of sailing which are the same whether you're on a 24 foot racing boat, or a 70 foot catamaran. This group follows the US Sailing certification course which I have no complaints about. If you want to switch to ASA or RYA later, I think you can always test out of those levels, so don't get caught up too much in which certification route to take, just go out and spend time on the water! Thank you to Suzie, Paul, John, and Wayne for being so amazing, and for helping me take such a significant step towards my dream!"

"Wonderful experience with J World Performance Sailing. My instructor Randall was excellent, professional, wealth of knowledge, patient and communicated soundly as we maneuvered through various scenarios. Signed up for a 2 day training session, Advanced Boat Handling. On the water 90% of the time, worked on different sailing techniques that really helped my understanding and assisted me in being more confident. One thing that I really wanted to do was sail with a Spinnaker, never did that before, Randall ensured me would do that and that we did. Pre and Post Briefings before and after sailing were very helpful. I'll be back."

"Just finished the Yachting Cup Clinic and Regatta; the best week of sailing and sailing instruction that I have attended in the last 35 years. I have circled the date for 2018 as I am tempted to return to do it again next year. Thanks to our instructors and the quality of the other students in our boat, it was a super five days."
