FAQs

Set your GPS to R10 restaurant at Redondo Beach Pier and when you arrive look for a blue building near the water. Our dock is right beside it.

You should arrive at the dock about 10 minutes before your sail time.

Your sail lasts for the amount of time you have purchased. Your sail begins at your scheduled reservation time. We will board the boat, spend a couple of minutes at the dock to get you oriented and then cast off.

We do our best to keep you as dry as possible, however there is always a risk of splash. We recommend you bring a change of pants if you are planning to go somewhere immediately after your sail.

Always prepare for wind and weather. Bring something warm and waterproof in case you get wet, which tends to happen from time to time.

Children are welcome to join us. Children under 13 are required to wear a life jacket on our boats. If you have your own life jackets, you are welcome to bring them or you may use our life jackets.

You can make a reservation through this website, by calling us at 310-937-3180 or emailing us at instruction@southbaysailing.com.

That's okay! We don't like to get wet either. Our boats are keelboats, which means they have a weighted fin underneath to prevent the boat from capsizing, and they are encircled by life lines to keep everyone on board. We also have life jackets for you to wear for the duration of your sail. Just let your instructor know if you would like one to wear before you cast off.

Sometimes all of the staff is on the water, and sometimes we're just on the other line. Always leave us a voice message, so we can call you back as soon as we get back to the office or off the phone. If you don't leave us a message, we can't call you back. Make sure you leave your number slowly and clearly in every message. If we can't understand you, we can't call you back.
