Welcome to Bonneville School of Sailing
Now in our thirteenth year sailing on Utah Lake, the Bonneville School of Sailing and Seamanship has seen many of it's graduates and participants go on to sail distant oceans, purchase their own boats and live their sailing dreams, build a boat with family members, or discover the wonders of Celestial Navigation. Our guests have been entertained with crimson and gold sunsets surrounded by the peace and the unique quiet only a sailboat can bring. The personal transformations from team building events to adrenaline pumping racing and spinnaker clinics are acclaimed as life altering experiences. Now it's your turn. Let's go sailing!
Mark Twain said it best in this short paragraph: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

In the 1800’s, Lake Timpanogos was a source of food for pioneers coming into the valley, as well as a gathering place for Ute Indian tribes.
