American Sailing Association

We offer a boutique sail training experience offering private and semi-private courses taught in a real cruising/voyaging style format. Think of us like a B&B on the water, along with award winning instruction, and knock your socks off itineraries. Based in South Florida, we re-position seasonally to the best cruising grounds based on temperature and weather patterns. Our Fall and Winter courses are taught from South Florida to the Out Islands of the Bahamas. Spring we sail up the eastern seaboard to our summer training grounds in New England and the stunning coastline of Maine.
Our Jeanneau 40 ‘Cour Volant’ is a lovely gentle host as she is solid in blue water but handles like a dinghy in light air. Our motto is to learn about cruising you must go cruising. Experience, Capt. Edana has a proven track record of 40,000 ocean miles all over the globe but has an intimate understanding of east coast sailing. With more than 35 gulfstream crossings and countless trips up the eastern seaboard, she will show you how to comfortable and safely reach your dreams.

Our courses are unique for several ways.
We teach my immersing you in the cruising lifestyle by sailing 5, 7 and 10 day itineraries.
This is not a fast track program! We do not race you through the ASA curriculum, but teach you solid seamanship skills in a rate you can retain the knowledge.
By providing a gracious platform, our Jeanneau 40, patient instruction, stunning itineraries, and exposure to a variety of seas, conditions and navigational challenges you will become a competent sailor .
Plus, you will feel right at home on board.
We look forward to sharing the sailing lifestyle with you!
