Sail NOLA

How much sailing experience do you have? What kind of boat do you want to sail? Even if your answers are "none" and "I don't know," Captain Frank will design and execute a successful instruction program for you, as he did for me. He knows the principles and techniques of wind, spars and rigging, knots, and piloting. He'll teach you to deal with varying water and weather conditions. You'll enjoy safe and fulfilling hours on the lake that you'll be able to translate into independent sailing experiences. He's smart and dedicated to introducing you to a rewarding new world!

Took the sunset cruise with frank and enjoyed it with my fiancé. Frank took care of us and took his time, nothing was in a rush. Will be going on another cruise with frank again on my next trip. Well worth it.

Wow. A wonderful experience and a talented instructor. My boyfriend and I took two lessons from Frank- zero sailing experience prior- Frank was patient, confidence-inspiring and fun to spend a day with. We had a tremendous time on his lovely boat and learned a great deal. No better way to spend an afternoon. Cannot recommend him highly enough.

Very disappointed- my wife purchased a lesson for me (over $200) and it seems he went out of business...emails bounce back, website is gone and when I called the phone number, he sent a text saying it's the wrong number...the email receipt to my wife said his name was Frank Jones

Everyone who has a remote interest in sailing but may be intimidated should book with Sail NOLA. My husband and I had very little experience with sailing before taking private lessons with Capt. Frank at Sail NOLA. Frank started the day by giving us a basic lesson on the terminology, equipment and safety principles. He then allowed us (with great instruction) to give it a try ourselves on day one. Having a patient, dedicated, thorough instructor made the experience truly a one of a kind! We even caught some frightening weather toward the end of our lesson but Capt. Frank handled it with great expertise. We look forward to our future in sailing thanks to Frank!

I got my husband an evening sailing cruise as a birthday gift and it was one of the most enjoyable gifts I've ever thought of! It was so relaxing and beautiful. We also ordered food and had dinner on the boat, and everything was perfect. Frank is so nice and knowledgeable and we really enjoyed getting to know him during the cruise. I would highly recommend this sailing cruise as a cool alternative to a romantic dinner for two, a small gathering with a few friends, or just a nice evening on the water. We will definitely be doing this again soon!
