Catamaran Sailing Courses - Blue Water Sailing School

Blue Water Sailing School is one of the leaders in sailing education on cruising catamarans. We offer catamaran sailing courses from Basic Sailing and Bareboat Chartering up to Advanced Coastal Cruising on large and comfortable cruising catamarans.

Our Cruising Catamaran sailing course (Course A Plus Catamaran) is a weeklong live-aboard catamaran cruising course, offered at the Fort Lauderdale base and the St Maarten base. The sailing course combines the Basic Sailing (ASA 101), Basic Coastal Cruising (ASA103), Bareboat Chartering (ASA 104), and Cruising Catamaran (ASA 114) levels of the ASA curriculum.

We are also one of the only sailing schools to offer a course in advanced catamaran sailing (Course C+ Cat: Advanced Catamaran Skipper). During this weeklong live-aboard Advanced Catamaran (ASA 114, 106) cruising course you’ll sail from Fort Lauderdale, across the Gulf Stream to the Bahamas, and back again. Along the way, you’ll gain the hands-on experience you need to pass the Advanced Coastal Cruising (ASA 106), and Cruising Catamaran (ASA 114) ASA certification levels.

Please see ASA Course Descriptions for details on each certification standard.
