US SAILING ASSOCIATION CERTIFICATION COURSES & ENDORSEMENTS
There is no better place to sail year-round than in tropical South Florida, whether on the crystal-clear waters surrounding the Florida Keys or on Miami’s Biscayne Bay.
Our competent team is looking forward to helping you choose the right private or group sailing instructions, courses, and certifications for your skill level. Our courses are designed to help you learn safely and with confidence. Experienced, US Sailing certified instructors share their passion and knowledge of sailing and education with a commitment to provide a safe and successful experience.
We offer basic, intermediate, and advanced sailing instructions, ranging from basic keelboat sailing lessons to cruising and bareboat chartering courses. Our optional live-aboard cruising course format provides the most immersive environment possible and a more thorough experience than being on the boat just a few hours a day. Textbooks and required reading prepare you for “hands on” instruction and practice.
Get certified for catamaran bareboat chartering during a weeklong sailing vacation, offered at the Key West base aboard a large and comfortable cruising catamaran. This course combines the Bareboat Cruising Certification of the US Sailing curriculum with additional catamaran training that meets the certification standard for the Cruising Catamaran Endorsement.
