Stateroom Bookings

An opportunity to refresh and build your sailing skills!

This option is designed for those who have completed their ASA 104 certification and are looking for an opportunity to get out on the water to practice their sailing skills without needing to charter a boat themselves. Stateroom bookings often sail with one of our guided flotillas, adding a nice element of camaraderie. While not structured courses, there is a USCG captain/ASA instructor onboard and you have the option to pursue your ASA 111 Sailing Refresher Certification (stateroom bookings are designed for skills review so no other ASA certifications are available).

Private Instruction

Tailor your course to your own needs

For those who would like private instruction, or would like to arrange their own group (often a family), this option lets you tailor the course to the specific needs of each member of your crew. Private lessons can be done on your own boat, or one of our bareboat charter vessels as part of your bareboat charter. Simply pick your dates and we’ll assist you in selecting an instructor.

Power Courses (Single or Twin)
