Private lessons

These Lessons are taught on a private basis to ensure a solid foundation. We allow a maximum of two students per boat. However, this is a live-aboard course and is somewhat like a vacation. You are welcome to invite up to two guests to share this unique experience with you for no additional charge. Your guest will act as crew and will not receive certification.

Certification

Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive the ASA Bareboat Cruising Certification (ASA 104).
