Custom ASA Certification Courses to Accommodate Your Schedule

Looking for an ASA course that meets the demands of your busy schedule? Modern Sailing offers Custom ASA Courses to those interested in receiving the benefits of private instruction while earning ASA certification. Invite your partner or friends to share exclusively in the fun of an ASA course, or receive individual training towards ASA certification, one-on-one, with a talented Modern Sailing School instructor.

Custom ASA Courses with Modern Sailing follow the same curriculum as our regularly scheduled courses and adhere to ASA standards. Custom Course pricing is based on number of students, number of days required, and whether any preferred dates fall on a weekend or weekday.* Class sizes are limited to four students for ASA 101, 103, 104, and 106. Students must be at least 16 years old to receive certification from American Sailing Association. Students 16 and 17 years old must enroll in the course with a parent.

To maximize success, we recommend scheduling your Custom Course dates as close together as possible. When you're ready, please fill out this Custom ASA Course, Clinic, and Expeditions Request FormA $50 deposit must be made for all custom requests, refundable if we cannot book your course, clinic or expedition. 

Please review the Custom Course Cancellation Policies and Custom Clinic and Expedition Cancellation Policies.

If you are interested in hands-on instruction but do not require ASA certification, you may prefer the format of a Private Lesson, tailored to your experience level and individual sailing goals.

    Here are some snaps of Our Saturday, August 20, 2022 Modern Sailing Expedition with Captain Robert Bivin, who was outstanding. Please convey photos and thanks to him. He is an outstanding individual, leader and sailing instructor. His knowledge and experience made us all feel safe and our Farallones Day Trip educational and just amazing.

    It has been wonderful sailing with MSC over the years. Please extend my thanks to the owners, management, and staff for unrequited professionalism and high standards in a charter fleet. I have sailed with several in my years and none nearly hold a candle to the quality of business and staff at Modern Sailing.

    The class was terrific. I know you must get many compliments about your sailing instructors...But I must tell you that Robert is outstanding. Having taught SCUBA, I really appreciate the way he is so sensitive to all on board, dealing with each so well, knowing quickly their strengths and weaknesses making each feel special and cared for.

    I try to get out on the water every week: out the Gate, around Angel, up Raccoon - I love it all. After 18 years as a member of OCSC in Berkeley, I learned to sail the bigger boats at Modern by taking ASA 103 and 104. My ASA 104 instructor Dave Russell was terrific. Also, Captain Bill Moreland has been very generous in giving informal advice whenever I’ve asked him. Thanks to Bill, I no longer have any anxiety about docking!

    I've taken two classes at MSS&C and was very happy with the program. This is also a great club with lots of opportunities for camaraderie and practice on the water. The boats in the fleet are fantastic and kept in tip-top shape. I highly recommend for all sailors and would-be sailors!
