ASA 106 Advanced Coastal Cruising 7 Day Course:
$2,699 pp or $4,999 per couple
________________
We run our ASA Advanced Coastal Cruising (106) cruises half a dozen times a year, between October and May. We also offer the 105 course but prefer guests to do this prior to arrival as it is essentially a weekend classroom course. For those unable to do this, we ask them to let us know so that they can board the yacht one day earlier and complete the 105 prior to setting sail on the 106.
The courses are 7-days/7-nights, and operate in Saint Vincent and the grenadines.
The itinerary includes short open-ocean crossings and at least two night sails.
A typical itinerary might be –
-
Day 1, Sunday – Blue Lagoon to Bequia
-
Day 2, Monday – Bequia to Tobago Cays
-
Day 3, Tuesday – Tobago Cays to PSV
-
Day 4, Wednesday – PSV to Carriacou, Tyrrel Bay
-
Day 5, Thursday night – Tyrrel Bay to Byahaut Bay, St Vincent (night sail)
-
Day 6, Friday stay and explore Byahaut Bay
-
Day 7, Saturday- return to Blue Lagoon
Course Outline
- Guests meet the Instructor around 10.00 a.m. on the first day at the course – either at Barefoot Yacht Charters, Blue Lagoon St. Vincent.
- The 7 days are spent consolidating sailing skills, anchoring techniques, navigation, Rules of the Road, and basic maintenance skills, whilst sailing through a stunning cruising ground with beautiful anchorages and plenty of opportunity to explore ashore.
- We provide pretty well everything you’ll need including food for most meals. Students are expected to share in meal preparation and clean-up duties. You just need to pack a few clothes – a swimsuit, your sandals, a rain-jacket and perhaps a light pullover for the night sails.
- Added expenses include the cost of a few evening meals which can be taken ashore, course textbooks, drinks, Customs clearance fees, National Parks Permits and mooring fees (if required), and the ASA examination fees.
- Most of the boats in our fleet range in length from 34’ to 50’. Our Advanced Offshore Courses take place on a monohull in the 40-to-50 foot range. Singles or couples will have their own cabin.
- During the 7 days your instructor will cover the curriculum for ASA 106 certification: Advanced Coastal Cruising Certificate
- The course will end around noon on the 7th day, to allow clients to connect with their international flights back home.
