World-class instructors. World-class sailing. 🌎⛵

At SailTime Houston, our ASA instructors don’t just teach sailing—they live it.

Here’s Captain Dale Stokes leading an ASA 101 Basic Keelboat course in stunning Sardinia, Italy.

“In an ASA 101 Basic Keelboat course here in Sardinia, Italy, I teach every foundational skill against a backdrop of crystal-clear turquoise coves and dramatic granite coastlines. Sardinia’s waters are among the most spectacular classrooms in the world—ancient sea trade routes, hidden coves accessible only by boat, and the steady Mediterranean breeze that has shaped sailors for centuries.”

Whether you’re learning on Galveston Bay or sailing halfway around the world, you’re learning from instructors with real experience, global perspective, and a passion for helping new sailors gain confidence at the helm.

What does it actually cost to own a 40-foot performance sailing yacht in the SailTime Houston fleet?
Hanse 410 — 2026 numbers:
📊 Annual gross membership revenue: $104,720

📊 SailTime covers (slip, insurance, maintenance): $32,758/year

📊 Annual cash payments to owner: $35,981

📊 Annual loan payments (20% down, 6.49%, 20yr): $40,440

📊 Net annual carrying cost: $4,459
Purchase price: $575,074. Down payment: $115,015.
For context: the average boat owner in the U.S. spends $5,000–$10,000 per year in net costs on a vessel a fraction of this size — with no income, no professional management, and no tax structure.
These numbers reflect a real-world membership model, including months where the revenue share runs below the loan payment and the owner covers the gap. It's a business — with real risk and real reward.
