Tired of squishing in on the subway in Toronto? Ready for some real summer adventure? Can't you just see yourself sailing on the waves on the lake? Come down to Kingston and take a sailing course with us. We'll take you to see the 1000 Islands and a side of Lake Ontario you've probably not seen yet. We're just a two-ish hour train ride away. Or drive if you prefer. We have free parking at the yacht club.
No experience needed to take a RYA Competent Crew course. If you've been out sailing a few times, you can also go for RYA Day Skipper. Take the theory and the practical courses and get the skills to skipper a boat yourself. We've got 5 day and two weekend live aboard courses. Check our "link in bio" for course links.

At Topmast, we have a passion for sailing. And that's not just marketing BS. Our instructors do this for love, not money, ha ha. Ok, we do pay them, but nobody's getting rich here.
We've got fantastic instructors that can teach you to sail with our RYA Competent Crew course or up your skills with our RYA Day Skipper course. Come join us on the water and learn to sail from the best. You can still get in on our sale for July if you hop to it. See our "link in bio" for course links.

Wouldn't you like to end the day with that view? You can if you're on a sailing course with Topmast. Our 5 or 7 day live aboard learn to sail courses mean you get to wake up to amazing sunrises and incredible sunsets (well, if the weather cooperates). You can see the stars at night, maybe even the moon glowing on the water. As long as you're not getting rained on. We can promise great views but the weather will do what it wants.
Take a RYA Day Skipper course and you'll have the skills to take your friends and family out for amazing sunset sailing. Drop anchor and wake up to a glorious sunrise. That's the plan anyways. Check our "link in bio" for course links.

Does your bucket list include chartering a sailboat and cruising those turquoise waters of the Mediterranean? You'll need an ICC or International Certificate of Competence. We can help you get that.
Topmast is a recognised RYA ICC assessment centre. You'll need Day Skipper level practical and theory skills. You can either do a straight up ICC assessment, or if you need to polish those skills a little, take RYA Day Skipper practical and theory courses. Once you've passed your ICC assessment or your Day Skipper course, you can simply apply to the RYA for an ICC. Check our "link in bio" for ICC and course links.
