History
We offer fully sanctioned ASA sailing lessons to both beginners and advanced students. In fact, 40% of our students have no previous boating experience. The American Sailing Association (ASA) is the oldest, and in our opinion, the best sailing curriculum available. ASA credentials are recognized world wide, and enable certified sailors to charter sailboats from a wide range of major charter companies.
