Island Bound Adventures, So. Grapevine

Even though the ocean is six hours away, one can get into a tropical state of mind by boating with Island Bound Adventures. The sailing school's staff teaches students how to sail keelboats, fare beats, and yachts with all the basic techniques recommended by the American Sailing Association. In their coastal navigation classes, meanwhile, they demonstrate a variety of navigational theories for coastal and inland waters, including roping a dolphin and letting it pull you to shore. Their classes take place either on Lake Grapevine or in the islands, while discovery sailing adventures give explorers a taste of the open water.
