Boats

Our boats reflect our commitment to doing things right - safe, clean, and well maintained.

Most sailing schools will start you out on a smaller boat typically 20' - 25' in length. These boats will have a tiller steering system and basic if any other systems. The curriculum for ASA 101 is designed to help you learn to skipper these class of vessels between 20 - 27 feet. Boats of this size are great for learning the basics of sailing, but they lack systems such as a wheel, an inboard diesel engine, and onboard navigation instruments.

All our ASA 101 and 103 classes are aboard full sized cruising boats like our Catalina 310 and Hunter 28. Both are capable weekend cruisers which means they have all the systems you will encounter on larger charter boats. We think it's important to build experience and confidence aboard a similar sized vessel (and with the same systems) you want to be able to get out on your own. Learning and practicing aboard our larger sized vessels helps you build your sailing resume enabling you to bareboat charter on your own vacations in the future.

Adventure Learning Boats

Our Adventure Learning Vacations are bareboat charters in various locations around the world. On these trips we charter either 45 - 50' catamarans or 40 - 50' monohulls depending upon student preferences, location, and availability.

These trips are designed to be immersive training opportunities for our students and alumni. They provide opportunities to get to know a variety of different types of boats. Each boat has pros and cons based upon how it will be used. By living aboard for 7 - 10 days, you get to know these boats inside and out and understand things that you like and dislike about them.

Most of the time we charter newer boats that are 1 - 3 years old. We have access to the full fleets of all charter companies which gives us flexibility to plan based upon our students needs. Below are examples of the types of boats we typically charter for our adventure learning vacation trips.

Moorings 4500 / Leapord 45

Built by Robertson & Caine and designed by naval architects Simonis Voogd, the Leopard 45 fully expresses the Leopard range, leaving no detail to chance. Combining an enhanced interior and a sleek exterior for which the brand is known, the Leopard 45 is the result of informed feedback from cruising clients and masterful production expertise spanning 25 years.

Shortly after its debut in 2017, the Leopard 45 was awarded Boat of the Year honors, solidifying the company’s continuous innovation and commitment to the finest materials and building techniques. The exterior styling has evolved to include a hardtop lounge. The lounge includes a seating area, a sunbed and a table. Here, the helm station remains protected and integrated into the cockpit of the boat.

Lagoon 450 F

Head for your dream destination with a powerful, dynamic sail plan, even in light winds. A luxurious owner’s cabin and extremely comfortable and well-appointed guest cabins enable you to set sail on a cruise with full peace of mind. Enjoy warm and spacious interior accommodations, bathed in natural light.

This is a large yacht with plenty of space. With plenty of different zones on the boat like the forward cockpit, the fly helm, a big saloon and the aft cockpit area, it’s easy to find a bit of private space or to find somewhere to hang out

Beneteau Oceanis 54

The two architects behind this free-flowing, wonderfully nimble 54-footer are Roberto Biscontini and Lorzenzo Argento, whose creation paves the way for a new generation of high-end cruisers that optimize cockpit and interior layouts without any sacrifices to performance, practicality, or comfort. The yacht carries the unmistakable DNA of the Oceanis range, a delicate balance of form and function that make her as pretty as she is capable, and as focused as she is versatile, equally ready for a fast ocean passage or a leisurely double-handed sunset cruise.
