Sailing Schools

Driven by a clear need for uniform sailing instruction and education standards with increased access to sailing activities, the American Sailing Association (ASA) has grown to include a national network of professionally accredited sailing schools.

ASA Sailing Schools have met rigorous standards which are internationally recognized.

ASA sailing certification facilities give sailors of all experience levels an opportunity to become more competent and confident in their abilities. If you choose to venture beyond the sailing basics, we'll expand your horizons by teaching you to navigate with electronics and with the stars. Become certified at advanced or offshore levels and the world's oceans will become your highways and by-ways. You can learn it all or select the things that interest you the most. Selecting an ASA school assures you of professional training and the best value for your sail education dollar.

ASA affiliated sailing schools now graduate and certify thousands of new sailors annually - sailors who learn faster, learn sailing more and have more fun sailing in more new places. They choose ASA sailing schools because they want to follow a proven curriculum in a professional, supportive learning environment under the direction of certified sailing instructors. The American Sailing Association can assure you of the same quality sailing education when you attend any of our certification facilities.
