"Sail La Vie Sailing School program definitely exceeded my expectations. Courses are well-structured. Covered subjects are not only interesting but rather motivating and inspiring you to learn much more and then try it in practice. Highly recommend anyone to endeavor their lifelong sailing journey with this school."

Dmitri Lopatine /

"Sail La Vie is an awesome sailing school in Toronto. I had the honor of being a student to Oleg, Yacht Master, and I can safely say, he is one of the best instructors in Canada. I have also had the pleasure to go with Sail La Vie on a chartered trip, and it was one of the most fun-filled vacations I ever had. The best thing is that every time I texted Oleg a question, he responded. Thank you Sail La Vie!"
