Two-ski beginners to slalom carving. Patient instructors get first-timers up every session.
Waterskiing is where it all started, and it's still one of the most rewarding experiences on the water. Connecticut Water Sports offers waterskiing charters and lessons for all skill levels on the calm, protected waters of Lake Lillinonah — the ideal conditions for learning and progressing.
Our professional captains have taught hundreds of people to waterski, from first-time deep-water starts to advanced slalom skiing.

“Never waterskied before and got up on my first try! The captain was incredibly patient — kids were cheering from the boat the whole time. Best day on the water.”
“Took my 10-year-old for his first waterskiing lesson. The captain was so encouraging, he was up within 20 minutes. Already booked for next summer.”
“Did slalom skiing for the first time in years. These guys know what they're doing. Lake Lillinonah was glassy smooth — perfect conditions.”
