Advanced Coastal Cruising (ASA 106)


Ready to start doing long distance cruises on the coast? Our Advanced Coastal Cruising class will give you the skills and confidence you need for success. If you've already taken Bareboat Chartering (ASA 104) then you are ready to move up to the next level.

Typically this class goes out the Golden Gate to Drakes Bay & the Farallon Islands, then down to Half Moon Bay and back. Taught onboard our Islander 53 Polaris, the curriculum includes ocean night sailing and navigation, anchoring, boat systems, developing float plans, and an introduction to electronic navigation including radar.


Boat systems and trouble shooting are also covered, with an emphasis on the problem solving skills that are essential to successful coastal cruising. Cost $945 per person for 4 days/3 nights (non-members pay $1145).
