Coaching Adventures for Challenging Times

Join Captains Courageous for a compact coaching intensive, a weekend of guided experience and reflection aboard a beautiful sailboat in the Upper Florida Keys. Away from your daily environment and obligations, you’ll have the opportunity to explore yourself and your life with the guidance and support of skilled and caring coaches.  Freed from the distractions of everyday life, you'll discover your path toward greater achievement and fulfillment.

You’ll have a great time sailing, snorkeling, sharing and playing; and your coaching will be woven naturally into the activities and rhythms of each day. You’ll have the opportunity to learn more about who you truly are, learn what works in your life and what doesn’t, and learn how to choose what you want to do about it. You’ll receive support and coaching toward finding your own insight, your own sense of direction and value, and your own next steps toward manifesting a more satisfying and congruent life.

You’ll come away refreshed and renewed, with greater clarity and commitment, and a greater appreciation of your own strengths and opportunities.   You'll have a specific action plan; and you may choose extended coaching to support you in implementing it.

No prior sailing experience is required.

Why combine coaching with sailing? 

The sea, the wind, the fluidity of motion, the cooperation among the elements—all these remind us how to flow and cooperate in life, how to navigate through uncertain or changing conditions, how to set a clear course and follow the inner compass. 

All that...plus it’s fun!

Why choose Captains Courageous?

We've been leading experiential sailing adventures for almost 20 years. Our approach to coaching is based on experience, respect and partnership.  We know what it’s like to face uncertainty, adversity and loss.  We know what it’s like to want to grow and learn, to experience life more fully.  We also know that you have within you everything you need to awaken to the insights, choices and actions that will create the life you want to live.  As your coaches, we do everything we can to make that process easy and effective, with great care for your inner as well as your outer experiences and expressions.
