Yes! We offer ASA 101 as part of our Option 1 course. You can prepare yourself by studying at home with online courses and step right into ASA 103.
Can I bareboat in other countries after I get ASA certified?
Yes. An International Proficiency Certificate (IPC) is included in your course for FREE. The IPC will qualify you to bareboat charter in several European countries (Belarus, Croatia, France, Greece, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Turkey).
Can I bareboat charter after I complete the ASA course?
Yes, most of our graduates are ready to bareboat charter a 40 to 50-ft catamaran.
How flexible are the courses?
Welcome to a unique kind of sailing school designed with you, the student, in mind. Classes are customized for each student on board. You are welcome to complete as much or as little coursework as you desire. If there are members in your party who just want to ride along that is totally acceptable. We want your courses and your experience to be exceptional and fun.
What airport should I fly into?
