Intro to Sailing

The ocean restores and resets

Join in on setting sail on this 58‑foot monohull out of Marina del Rey and into open water. Once you clear the harbor, the city fades away, the coastline stretches out in that hazy summer light. Take a hold of the ship's wheel, learn the basics to take helm, or simply relax and enjoy the sail.
Out on the water, the evening is playful. You can jump in for a swim, float around then climb back aboard and view the coastline as marine wildlife surround. A fun and cooling reset for the week ahead.

About Guide

Nick Sharp is a Venice based therapist and outdoor guide on a mission to help humans remember that we are nature too. Nick organizes and leads multi sensory experiences structured to integrate present moment awareness and attunement. This includes working with horses, hikes, surfs, sails, and wilderness adventures. He founded This is Water, a water community dedicated to providing high adventure sailing expeditions internationally.

This is Water is now committed to creating accessible programs for folks in and around Los Angeles to be on the water, many for the first time. Nick began sailing tall ships out of Key West a decade ago, and today works with individuals and groups on deepening their relationship to water and the world around us. He leads with listening, and creates openings for people to step into their own empowerment and possibility.
Proceeds will benefit the local nonprofit, SB Bliss on building their nautical school project for youth, called Samphire
