TESTIMONIALS
A great experience! Keep it up and don’t change a thing. 
I would like to say that I have never taken a course where absolutely everybody involved was as friendly and helpful as here at your school. Everyone from the kitchen staff, waterfront and shop crews, to the instructors was professional and sincerely courteous. I look forward to returning for another course. Thanks!
This was one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve ever had on a vacation. The course was challenging, yet achievable. The immersive experience was a welcoming and relaxing break from my work-a-day routine. I will have memories to cherish for as long as I have memories. Working alongside my son and a group of diverse people from places far and wide was a rewarding experience. Thank you.
Your BUILDING THE LUMBER YARD SKIFF course met and exceeded every expectation I had going in. You have an outstanding facility and I was impressed with how everything is so well maintained. Your staff is superb, friendly, and always ready to help and our instructor, Walter Barron, was excellent.
You and your staff are a thoroughly professional and dedicated group of people, and it is a privilege to be associated with your school. As always, your entire housekeeping, kitchen, shop, and waterfront staff, along with your instructors, were an example of the best in human endeavor, and we students were very fortunate to have such good care.
I really want to congratulate you on running a fantastic school and for giving our family such a memorable time during Family Week. We truly enjoyed working with our teacher, John Harris. Many thanks to all your staff from the waterfront to the shop and to the kitchen and housekeeping. Everyone worked hard to make our experience so enjoyable.
It is an amazing experience to be at your place. The first person that I met when I arrived said to me, ‘It’s not about getting the class project completed, it’s about spending time with quality people.’ I didn’t realize that, truly, until after I left as I reflected on my experience on the drive back home. WoodenBoat School is a great place with special people. One can make friends for a lifetime in just one short week. I am very grateful for the time spent there and for the entire experience. I couldn’t have asked for more.
I’d been trying to get to WoodenBoat School for 25 years and still my experience was better, richer, and just more enjoyable than I ever could have imagined. Thanks to you and your whole staff! .
This has been one of the most enjoyable times in memory. When you put together the level of creative minds and skilled hands in this beautiful Maine setting, it’s magical. I feel I have new friends in Brooklin and around the world thanks to WoodenBoat School. I’ll be back but it won’t be soon enough.
In a nutshell, everything about WoodenBoat School has been top shelf – the people, food, location, accommodations, my sail making course – everything has been better than I could have ever hoped for.
My experience at WoodenBoat School has been exceptional. I wish I had the time and budget to take almost every course listed in your program. The school and its personnel are a true treasure.
Everything was wonderful. You have put a lot of thought into your program and you’ve definitely got it right! A very, very enjoyable week.
It was a truly phenomenal experience that, after only a week, instilled me with renewed enthusiasm for sailing, a boatload of memories, and many, many new friends. Thank you.
