Basic Sailing to Bareboat (ASA 101, 103, 104) "Liveaboard" Weekend Package
All our classes are sleepaboard in the islands with all meals included!
(Three weekends, each 9AM Saturday, overnight to 5PM Sunday)
In just three weekends, you can achieve your ASA Bareboat Cruising (Charter Certification) and be qualified to charter your own sailboat up to 40 feet in length anywhere in the world. These weekend learning getaways take you out in the islands for a wonderful adventure of sailing, exploring and learning. Your only prerequisites are pre-study and a desire to learn.
- Spend the weekends learning how to anchor, navigate, maneuver, trim sails, and skipper a larger sailboat while surrounded by the beautiful scenery and abundant wildlife unique to this part of the world.
- We provide everything, including food (all students share in meal preparation and clean-up duties). All you need to bring is a desire to sail in this unique environment. Your only added expense are your course textbooks.
- Your boat will vary in length from 30' to 45', and class size is limited to four students. This allows for plenty of time for individual instruction and hands-on learning.
- Your instructor will cover the entire curriculum for three levels of certification: Basic Sailing, Basic Coastal Cruising, and Bareboat Cruising. When you complete your courses, you should have achieved three levels of certification during the week, depending on your preliminary study, skills, and effort.
- This is a "Non-Smoking" course. For the safety and learning of all aboard, alcoholic beverages are allowed only after instruction, when at dock or at anchor, with a 2 drink limit.
There will be both a written and a skills test to complete each course. Thorough study of the texts will prepare you for your courses and greatly enhance your learning experience. The curriculum (see links below) is helpful to follow while reviewing the texts and will streamline your studying.
These unique courses are an exceptional value, combining an incredible sailing adventure while learning a lifelong skill. We've been teaching sailing for over 30 years and know how to do it right. In fact, most of our students come to us by referral.
You won't find a better value anywhere!
