Gift of Sailing Includes a Free Sailor's Jacket
Ft. Myers, FL, October 11, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The gift of sailing or boating is a perfect choice for the adventurer or dreamer on one’s holiday gift list this year. Sailing is great for the environment, since voyaging by wind power alone reduces your carbon footprint. This is a gift that keeps on giving, setting a course for a lifetime of fun and personal achievement.
In partnership with Gill USA, Offshore Sailing School is providing an ultimate Crew Sailing Jacket with the purchase of a minimum $300 gift certificate for sailing lessons, a course tuition or learning vacation package. The gift giver need only call Offshore Sailing School with the recipient’s name and jacket size (XS through XXL) and choose the certificate amount they wish to give. Offshore will send a personalized certificate and free Crew jacket from Gill USA (a $115 value) in time for holiday giving. The stylish jacket, embroidered with Offshore Sailing School's logo, comes in navy with navy fleece lining, waterproof integrity and an inside MP3 or cell phone pocket.
A 2009 three-day Learn to Sail package that includes three night’s accommodations, starts at $1,590 per person, double occupancy at The Pink Shell Beach Resort in Ft. Myers Beach, Florida, or choose from seven other campus locations. A four-day Power Cruise course package provides the training to safely handle a 30-foot powerboat with skill and confidence and starts at $1,785 per person, double occupancy, including accommodations.
“This gift can change a non-sailor’s life,” reports Doris Colgate, president and CEO of Offshore Sailing School. “The rewards are exciting and fun for those who love new challenges. Boating bonds family relationships and gives friends an opportunity to get away together.” In three days, a non-sailor can be qualified to handle sailboats up to 30-feet with confidence. If cruising is their dream, the next step is learning on 41-49-foot yachts. “Confidence is achieved in less than a week,” said Colgate, “and because there is a course for every skill level, even seasoned sailors will love this unique gift.”
The recipient may choose dates, location and the course level later. A minimum gift purchase of $300 is required to receive the jacket. Orders must be placed at least eight days in advance for regular shipping (included); overnight shipping is available at an extra charge.
More than 100,000 men and women have graduated from Offshore Sailing School and have gone on to enjoy a lifetime of sailing. Ranked #1 by Practical Sailor in both instructors and curriculum, Offshore is the only sailing school in the United States qualified to offer courses recommended by the American Council on Education for college credit. Offshore provides training at all levels of sailing instruction and a comprehensive course for those interested in power boating – all on state-of-the art award-winning boats. Locations include Fort Myers Beach, Captiva Island, Florida Keys and St. Petersburg, FL; St. Michaels, MD on the Chesapeake, Jersey City, NJ, New York, NY and Tortola, British Virgin Islands.
