and Certifications


It takes a special set of skills to operate a mono hull sailboat or sailing catamaran. These beautiful boats are more sophisticated and more hands-on than driving a traditional boat like a pontoon or ski boat. Sailboats and catamarans are the most luxurious, beautiful boats on Lake Lanier – and at Sunrise Sail, we give you the opportunity to step aboard and take the wheel.


With a variety of affordable sailing lessons, we help you gain the skills and know-how to control a cruising-class sailboat vessel. As Lake Lanier’s premier catamaran and sailboat academy, our team helps families and friends live their dream without breaking the bank. We offer convenient membership plans for all levels of sailing experience. Want to learn how to sail? Join our sailing lessons and pick a day to get hands-on training with one of our experts. Already know how to sail? Sign up for a membership plan and rent any boat from our fleet up to 7 times per month.
