Basic Sailing to Bareboat Charter Certification
(ASA 101,103,104)
Learn-N-Cruise
(11 AM Saturday
through 1 PM Friday)
Our most popular course! In just one week in the beautiful San Juan
Islands, you can achieve your ASA Bareboat Charter certification and be
qualified to charter your own sailboat up to 40 feet in length anywhere in the
world. This week-long learning vacation takes you out in the islands for a
wonderful adventure of sailing, exploring and learning. Your only
prerequisites are pre-study and a desire to learn.
 | You'll set sail Saturday afternoon and spend each night anchored in a
different one of the many scenic anchorages or quaint island ports found in
the San Juan Island Archipelago. |
| Spend the week learning how to anchor, navigate, maneuver, trim sails,
and skipper a larger sailboat while surrounded by the beautiful scenery and
abundant wildlife unique to this part of the world. |
| We provide everything, including food (all students share in meal
preparation and clean-up duties). All you need to bring are your
clothes, sleeping bag and pillow case (pillow provided), and a desire to sail in this unique environment.
Your only added expense is one evening meal ashore, course textbooks, and
the cost of ASA certification. |
| Your boat will vary in length from 30' to 45', and class size is limited
to four students. This allows for plenty of time for individual
instruction and hands-on learning. |
| Your instructor will cover the entire curriculum for three levels of
certification: Basic Sailing, Basic Coastal Cruising, and Bareboat Charter.
When you return the following Friday, you should have achieved
three levels of certification during the week, depending on your preliminary
study, skills, and effort. |
| Note: This is a "Non-Smoking" course. Also,
for
the safety and learning of all aboard, alcoholic beverages are allowed only
after instruction, when at dock or at anchor, with a 2 drink limit. |
| All-Women option available. Click here for details. |
This unique course is an exceptional value combining an incredible sailing
adventure while leaning a lifelong skill. We've been teaching sailing for

students come to us by referrals.
You won't find a better value anywhere!
