What’s Included with a Caribbean Learn to Sail Vacation ?
A Learn to Sail vacation with American Sailing will come with everything you need for your trip out at sea! For example, at Go Sail Virgin Islands, a Learn to Sail vacation will come with a fully stocked boat, a captain/instructor, and American Sailing Bareboat Certification Catamaran. Your ASA textbooks will be sent to your home address before your vacation starts so you can study with the material before you set sail. This will prepare you for hands on learning. Once you arrive, all your meals on board the boat are included in the cost of your booking, as are your accommodations (a private suite onboard with a queen bed and private bathroom). Additionally, your experienced captain will work with you to plan the perfect itinerary for your Learn to Sail vacation in the Caribbean.
