Sail Olympia

The Puget Sound Leader in Luxury Sailing Adventure Travel

Summer 2024 scheduled classes are now posted.   In addition to our Signature 5 Day/4 Night Couples classes we now offer weekend versions of ASA 103 and ASA 104 that are open to singles and couples.   We are an American Sailing Association Affiliate and offer certifications in ASA 101, 103, 104, 106, 114.

Give us a call or text.  360-528-9641

Whether you’re brand new to sailing or you want to receive certification to charter a boat, we’re here to help you take the next step in your sailing journey.    

We’ve decided to rethink what a sailing school can be by building one from the ground up. Forget about sleeping on sofas or eating sack lunches, sailing is luxurious and peaceful and we think sailing schools should be too. 

With just two of us and one boat, every Sail Olympia trip caters to you, whether you sign up for one of our scheduled trips or design a custom trip. 

Why rush? Sailboats are about the joys of learning to slow down and enjoy your experience. 

Can you really sail into the wind? How do you steer the boat? How do you park a boat? What do you do when you meet other boats? What do I do with all those ropes? Is it safe?

Safety and comfort are the primary concerns of all of our classes, but specifically for this class while you get your sea legs. You will learn answers to these questions and so many more. We teach sailing in a comfortable atmosphere and at a relaxed pace. You will learn by doing. 

This class is suitable for a range of experience from complete beginners to day racers.   

This class is offered with an optional ASA 101/103 certification, all the certification material will be covered in the course. Outside Pre-work, and a written test are required for certification.

Zittel’s Marina is family owned and operated. Mike and Kathi Zittel operate the marina with the help of their son Nick.

The Zittel family purchased the Marina in 1957 when it was primarily a boat house. The boat house was in existence even prior to World War I. In the early days, boat houses often rented boats to people who supplied their own motors. Many people didn’t have the luxury of a motor so they would rent a boat and row. Over the years the family has transformed the boat house into a full service marina offering dry storage, moorage, haul out facilities, bottom painting, boat rentals, dockside fuel, boat sling and ramp launches, and a tackle shop complete with lots of fishing tackle, ice and snacks.

The Zittel’s take great pride in their Marina and are dedicated to customer satisfaction. They are always willing to share the latest fishing and crabbing reports so please stop by or call today.

Do I need my own insurance to rent a boat?

You do not need boat insurance when renting with Boatsetter. Coverage is provided under the Peer-to-Peer Boat Rental Policy, which is underwritten by GEICO Marine Insurance Company. The policy was written from the ground up as a stand-alone recreational boat rental insurance policy covering the period of time that the boat is being rented and is available for all non-commercially insured boats.

Does Boatsetter screen renters?

Yes. We use a system called Cognito to ensure that payment information matches the renter's identity. We also require renters taking out a captained boat to be at least 18 years old and on a bareboat to be at least 25 years old.

Is listing my boat on Boatsetter free?

Yes! Listing a boat is completely free. We only take a commission when your boat is rented. We only make money when you do!

What if I'm not comfortable having a renter drive my boat?

If you are not comfortable having a renter drive your boat, we have an expansive network of licensed and experienced captains. Once your boat is listed, you can filter through our network of captains and favorite captains in your area that you would like to operate your boat.
