Bareboat Charter
Certification
(ASA 104)
Live-Aboard Weekend Class
(9AM Saturday, overnight to 5PM
Sunday)
The goal of this overnight course is for the student to achieve the competency level
to be able to skipper a 30 to 40 foot sailboat for a multi-day cruise in a variety of
conditions. It is the minimum level of proficiency required by most charter
companies. Course subjects include chart reading, coastal navigation, proper use and
interpretation of buoys, lights and aids to navigation. Your instruction will also
include the operation and maintenance of all boat systems. With a maximum of
only 4 students, everyone receives plenty of helm time and hands-on sailing.
And, enjoy the cruising lifestyle anchoring overnight in the San Juan Islands!
All meals included.
There will be both a written and a skills test to complete
the course. Thorough study of your text will
prepare you for your course and greatly enhance your learning experience.
The Bareboat Charter (BBC) curriculum (link below) is helpful to follow while
reviewing the text and will streamline your studying.
