Helping you take the next steps in your sailing journey

Morse Alpha was born out of a need for quality coastal and offshore sail training for the recreational yachting world. We offer sailing expeditions, consultation, and a new inspiring old school newsletter.

Our sailing expeditions offer real world, hands-on, coastal and offshore sailing experience with focused education that will help you gain real knowledge, competence, and confidence. Our Departure Ready cruising prep program provides a direct route to cruising successfully instead of beating against a sea of differing opinions,  youtube videos, and experiences.

Had an absolute blast on the trip - Ben and Courtney are wonderful people and instructors. Not only did I enjoy myself, I learned a lot both theoretically and practically. This was easily one of the most rewarding things I’ve done in my life.
