St. Augustine Sailing Enterprises

‘Sailing Made Simple!’

Certified ASA sailing courses starting at only $395!

Since 1985, St. Augustine Sailing in Florida has taught thousands of students the basics of sailing. From basic to advanced courses, we can help you achieve your on-the-water goals! Located at St. Augustine’s premiere marina, St. Augustine Sailing has immediate access to both river and offshore experience. Our students experience most of the conditions they will experience in actual coastal conditions: tidal currents in inlets and rivers, using channel markers and buoys, anchoring in situations of wind and current and many others. Few locations have such a variety of sailing conditions so nearby.

We are a member of the Sunsail Sailing School network, which is a collection of schools approved by the worldwide charter operator, Sunsail. With this affiliation, bareboating yachts in exotic locales is as easy as a phone call.

At St. Augustine Sailing school, classes are full with 4 students; you will never share a class with more than three others. Any class may be scheduled with as few as two people, so if at least two enroll together, you may generally set your own dates. Private instruction is available at the cost of boat charter plus Captain/Instructor time. Call for more information on custom instruction – (904) 829-0648 – (800) 683-7245.

Our Instructors are Professional and Personable, with much sailing and teaching time on the water. Our Captain/Instructor Chuck Points was named an ASA Outstanding Instructor in 2007 which was earned from student ratings.

	“I was a student with you guys last May for 101/103. I got a lot out of the course and wanted to share a couple photos with you of the Catalina 22 that I purchased shortly after coming back to Colorado.
	We sailed on Blue Mesa Reservoir (largest body of water in the state) over the summer and had a blast. I have been teaching my 12 year old son Asher some skills. Please let captain Rick know that I bought a “trailer sailer” and had a great summer sailing! Thanks for the great instruction! Regards, Chris C.”

Historic St. Augustine, Florida, is the ideal place to learn to sail and we are lucky enough to be able to sail all year long! Our winters average in the 60’s and often the low 70’s – balmy weather for most of our out-of-state students…

ASA 101 Basic Keelboat Certification
(2 days – $395 per person)
Our ASA 101 course puts you on an exciting and sporty J-24 keelboat, to learn the basics of what sailing’s all about. You can learn to sail with our home study materials and our 2-day on-the-water sailing class. When you sign up for our Basic Sailing course, you will receive the ASA textbook Sailing Fundamentals, and an official ASA Log Book. You will be encouraged to study certain parts of the textbook prior to coming for your on-the-water sailing classes.

When you arrive in St. Augustine, Florida, for your class, you will spend two full days on a J-24 sloop, acquiring hands-on experience under the tutelage of a US Coast Guard-licensed captain and ASA certified instructor. There will be no more than four students on your boat, and each will take turns performing all of the necessary functions to operate the boat. At the end of the second day of your sailing class, you will take the test required for American Sailing Association certification. When you pass the test, the instructor will certify in your Log Book that you have passed the Basic Keelboat Sailing course.

The total cost is $395 per person. This includes logbook, text book, ASA test, certification and first year ASA membership.
