ASA 103- Coastal Cruising
Duration: 3 Days; 9:30am - 4:30pm
Price: $1,100 per person / 50% deposit to book - FREE cancellation within 48 hours of booking
ASA 103 is a three-day course (9:30am–4:30pm) that builds on the foundation established in ASA 101. You’ll be introduced to the inboard diesel engine and essential mechanical concepts, refine sail-trim techniques, and learn to manage a broader range of weather conditions under sail. The course also covers proper anchoring, fundamental navigation, and practical docking skills.
Students put these skills into practice by selecting a destination on the chart and discussing how to sail there and back—considering timing, expected challenges, and real-world decision-making. At this level, the individual techniques of sailing begin to integrate and are applied to more advanced day-sailing scenarios.

Course Availability & Minimum Enrollment To ensure a realistic and hands-on crew dynamic, all Sail and Surf Adventures courses require a minimum of two students to run. Our system makes it easy to see if a course is already confirmed:
If the date shows "4 spots left": You are the first to claim a spot! The moment a second student registers, we will reach out to officially confirm the course.
If the date shows "3 spots left" or fewer: The minimum enrollment has been met! Your booking is instantly confirmed and the course is guaranteed to run.
What if no one else signs up? If you are the first to register and the course hasn't met the two-student minimum by 14 days prior to departure, we will contact you immediately. You will have the option to roll your reservation to a future date, receive a full refund.
Wondering what happened to ASA 102? It’s an optional course designed for smaller boats and racing-style skills, which isn’t the primary focus of our cruising-based program. Because we train mostly on larger cruising vessels, ASA 102 isn’t part of our standard lineup—though Captain Clay is certified to teach it and can offer it by request.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We look forward to seeing you on the water!
