The pedal tour was so much fun! The staff were very friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be going again soon!

A truly memorable and now life long experience. For about a decade I wanted to learn to sail but always told myself that is would be too difficult or two expensive a hobby to attempt. After a friend completed sail school with Seven Seas I was surprised to hear how affordable it was to learn to sail ($350 with a guarantee to graduate!). My fiance, a friend and I decided were going to learn to sail the summer of 2016. We are now all "Captains" and feel more more confident in our skills every year. After graduation there is an option to rent the boats for the season ($650 per registered captain.) In our case of 3 people (we picked one captain to register) this makes rental of a sail boat less than $250 a person for the season! If you want to learn to sail and continue to sail this is the most affordable option in Buffalo. I would and I have recommend this sailing school/ club to my friends. A note for those interested, the club house does look well loved in a margaritavilleesk style, but this allows the classroom sessions to be held on the water. The boats are donated and older but this makes them perfect for learning. I would not want to learn on a $400k yacht as you will bump into things and make plenty of mistakes. The captains will not allow you to graduate until they feel you can safely handle the boat by yourself. The boats are in the water from early/mid May until mid/late October, 6 Months!

I have been part of Seven Seas for 3 years and I’m quite happy. Having Lake Erie vast areas to enjoy, I made a decision to certify myself through US Sailing at Seven Seas and was pleased with the captain instructors who always focused on safety and proper technique. Learning started with smaller boats and in groups and it is up to the student to step up the game and make the most of every class. I now sail the school bigger boats by myself with my wife and enjoy that greatly. Volunteering at the school is also a great opportunity down the road if you want to get more involved in the community. There is always something to do. This is not your Florida Yacht Club but well... we are in Buffalo... and there are still months of sailing to enjoy. And the Lake sunset is priceless!!! Capt. Bill and his crew of captains are ready to support those getting into the sport and enjoy it.

I have been sailing at Seven Seas for several years since I took lessons there. The instructors were great. Rental availability during to day is great and motor quality and reliability have improved. Rental availability on evenings and weekends can be a challenge and you may need to plan more in advance. Additional boats in the fleet would help. I found the season pass and online booking a great advantage. I have also made some wonderful friends sailing at Seven Seas.

I've enjoyed 3 years of sailing on Lake Erie that I consider priceless. I never imagined how much I was missing out on until I found out about Seven Seas! I can't wait to get out this Summer and feel the wind glide me along past the Lighthouse and the windmills. The Buffalo Skyline has never been seen until you view it from the deck of a Seven Seas Sailboat. They have a great selection of Boats and they do everything to keep them safe and reliable. They also have an interesting staff of Coast Guard certified Captains to teach anyone how to master the art of Sailing. For those who already are proficient, it is such a bargain to be a season pass holder, why would anyone buy a boat with all the expense associated.
