(ASA 104 & 114) This combination class is the one that unlocks the bareboat catamaran charter world for sailors in our system. You might do it as part of a more complete course, but it’s these two courses that nail the fundamentals you will need to manage the navigation, provisioning, systems and piloting of a modern cruising catamaran.

This is a three day advanced sailing course aboard a cruising catamaran. Students will achieve two ASA Certifications. It is for individuals with cruising experience, who have received ASA 101/103 certification. This course encompasses all the skills and knowledge offered in both ASA 104 and ASA 114 and is combined into one convenient class. You will act as skipper of a 30-50 foot catamaran by day in coastal waters. Successful completion of this class will prepare you to charter our catamarans as well as those offered worldwide by many charter companies.

In order to provide the best experience for our students, we limit our class size to four students with a minimum of three students. If we have less than three students, we will need to reschedule your class. We offer non-participants the opportunity to share a cabin and enjoy the adventure with our students for half price. We also offer the opportunity for our students to book the whole boat with family and friends for a private class.
It is required that you purchase and review the course materials prior to the start of your class. This will greatly enhance your experience and confidence once you are onboard the boats. You will be expected to complete a written exam in addition to the onboard skills test while onboard. It is highly recommended you complete the practice tests in the course materials to best prepare you for the journey ahead.
