Seattle’s Shilshole Bay Marina is a gorgeous harbor located in the heart of the Ballard district. Being on the ocean side of the Ballard Locks, Shilshole Bay provides easy access for boaters, stellar accommodations, and convenient transient slips to explore Seattle or Puget Sound.

Train for medical emergencies at sea. Learn underway. Build confidence that carries beyond the shoreline.

This is not the classic dockside classroom course.

Participants join a expedition voyage departing and returning to Bellingham — sailing through the Salish Sea while training in real maritime environments.

You will develop practical skills and sound judgment for situations where help is not immediate — and you will do it as part of a capable crew. An inspiring week that is open to all abilities from offshore racers, coastal cruisers, to novice boaters.
