About Us

Here at Northern Breezes, we offer a large variety of fantastic sailing experiences. Classes range from Basic Keelboat to Small Boat courses at four Twin Cities lake locations. We are proud of our Sailing Youth Day Camps for the younger set located within French Regional Park on Medicine Lake, Plymouth, MN. For the more advanced or those with offshore dreams, we offer Advanced Coastal Cruising Offshore on both Lake Superior and in the Caribbean; Cruising Catamaran on Lake Superior and the Caribbean; Advanced Docking Techniques for the single-handed and doubled-handed sailors in particular. Most of these advanced courses are taught by very experienced, defined as Captains with trans-Atlantic and Pacific Voyages.

NOT EVERY ADVENTURE IS A CLASS! We put together a variety of sailing opportunities where you skipper your own boat or jump on our lead boat for a great experience while learning often almost by osmosis. These have become some of our most popular offerings.

Vacation sailing for the whole family is one of our major focuses. We define this on the Class Side by offering Family and Friends formats at all of our class levels! On the Adventure Side we assist with Bareboat Charters. We offer adventures which you can join even with your own boat! We try to be there for you in many, many different ways. The sailing community is unique, friendly and well worth joining at whatever level you are currently comfortable! Have a great sailing day!
