ASA Certified Sailing Lessons:
Achieve your sailing certification with the American Sailing Association standards aboard Eliora, our 31’ Catalina; we teach sailing onboard sailboats, not classrooms. You will get lots of personal attention and helm time as all classes have a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 students. In addition to the beginner and intermediate courses ASA101, ASA103, ASA104 and ASA105, we also offer the harder-to-find course Advanced Coastal Cruising (ASA106).

ASA Certified Private Sailing Lessons:
Private lessons are offered on our Catalina 310 if you prefer personal one-on-one lessons with no additional students in the class. If you would like private lessons on your own boat, our Captains will come to your marina anywhere on the Southwest Florida coastline from Naples up to Tampa. Another option is to bring your boat to Punta Gorda and dock it at Fisherman’s Village. We also offer ASA114 Cruising Catamaran certification on your own boat. If you would like to rent a boat in the Bahamas or Caribbean to take lessons we do have Captains available to fly down.

Private Informal Lessons:
If you just want to have fun! You can go sailing on our Catalina 310 or use your boat, and a Captain will give informal, private lessons with no tests or certifications. You pick the topics to be covered, and work on any skills you wish. Perhaps you just need a little refresher course, or some more sailing time before the next test, maybe you want to learn more about your boat. There may be up to 6 people aboard plus the Captain. There are 2, 4 or 6 hour day options available.

Veterans:
Make sure you mention you are a Veteran when you book your class. As a thank you to our Veterans, we offer a discount on ASA101.

The Bahamas or Caribbean

Private Sailing Lessons in the Bahamas or Caribbean

If you would like to rent a boat in the Bahamas or Caribbean to take either Certified or Informal lessons, we do have Captains available to fly down. Keep in mind that in addition to the private lessons cost, you will need to arrange and pay for the boat rental. Also, the Instructor/Captain’s plane ticket and transportation from Ft Lauderdale, transportation to and from the boat, meals and any hotel nights. Contact us to discuss the details and create your custom lessons.

Private Informal Lessons

Informal Lessons
This is a great option, allowing you to tailor the lessons to your own needs. A Captain will give informal, private lessons with no tests or certifications; you pick the topics to be covered, and work on any skills you wish. Perhaps you just need more sailing time before the next test, maybe you want to learn more about your boat. There may be up to 4 people aboard plus the Captain. Give us a call and we will design just the lessons you want.

Informal Lessons on our boat: Meet the Captain at the marina and hone your skills on our 31′ Catalina. There are 2, 4 or 6 hour options.

Informal Lessons on your boat: For private informal lessons on your own boat, there is a 4 hour minimum for lessons. If your boat is moored in Ft Myers, Naples, Venice or Sarasota, driving time for the Captain has been added to the price. If your boat is docked farther away, please contact us for pricing.

This is a Drug Free Vessel:

Captains and Instructors: All our Captains/Instructors are in accordance with Coast Guard regulations, and they submit to regular random drug testing.

Passengers: No drugs of any kind are allowed on board, and the Captain is required to immediately notify the Coast Guard if drugs or paraphernalia are discovered aboard. Possession of a Medical Marijuana card does not allow its possession or use on board, nor does it mitigate the Captain’s responsibility to alert the Coast Guard.
