Santa Barbara Sailing Center Policies

Scheduling Procedures at SBSC:
As you may have noticed, our sailing school does not currently post a calendar of available class dates on our website. This is because when scheduling classes at our facility, we can usually accommodate your desired dates most of the time. When finalizing your sailing school agenda, the School Director will work closely with you to make sure that the program fits within your "window of time", specific dates or general availability.

The Santa Barbara Sailing Center's Sailing School Cancellation Policy:
By submitting your 100% non-refundable payment, you recognize The Sailing School's Cancellation Policy: Cancellation results in 100% of class tuition forfeiture.

Change of Date Policy:
A change of date fee requires a $50.00 charge per person for all sailing classes, except for Liveaboard Instructional Vacation Programs, which constitutes a $100.00 charge per person. A change of date request must be made no less than 30 calendar days prior to your scheduled program, or you will forfeit your deposit.
