Student reviews
“Awesome experience getting ASA certification. I recommend staying at the Key Lime Sailing Club cottages, since a sailboat is included for as long as you stay.”
John Buttram
“I took 103/104 with a Catamaran. Team of seasoned professionals who are experienced and work as a team. You cannot do any better than this.”
Amelie Rider
“We took the ASA 114 with Captain Laurel and she was awesome. Very positive, friendly and patient. After the weekend I have no fear of chartering in the BVIs next month.”
