Cruising Catamaran (ASA 114) "Liveaboard" 2 Day Class

This class includes a night at anchor and all meals!

(9AM Saturday to 5PM Sunday or 9AM Wednesday to 5PM Thursday)

An advanced weekend course for those who want to learn the nuances of multihulls, but are limited on time. Bareboat Cruising/Charter certification (ASA 104) or equivalent experience is a prerequisite. The course is taught on one of our beautiful catamarans and is geared to the bareboat charter skipper who wants the added skills to charter multihulls between 30 and 50 feet. And, experience the cruising lifestyle with a night at anchor (weather-permitting)!

There will be both a written and a skills test to complete the course. Thorough study of the text, Cruising Catamarans Made Easy, will prepare you for your course and greatly enhance your learning experience. The Cruising Catamaran (ASA 114) curriculum (link below) is helpful to follow while reviewing the text and will streamline your studying.

Based on boat size and cabin layout, this course can accommodate up to 5 students.
