This course prepares the student to charter a larger wheel steered auxiliary powered sailboat, sailing by day in coastal waters in moderate to strong wind and sea conditions.

You will continue to build and review on the skills learned in the Basic Sailing & Seamanship, Basic Coastal Cruising and Intermediate Coastal Cruising courses. Students who exhibit the requisite sailing and boat handling skills will be certified to the ASA Bareboat certification during course time.

In most cases, when a student has completed eight consecutive days (or 4 week-ends), and they have done exceptionally well, passing all of the practical requirements to Bareboat Charter, our USCG Licensed Captain can and will certify them to the ASA Bareboat levels without a review /check-out. Certified sailors are required to have crew that is competent to the Basic Coastal Cruising level of experience to charter a boat from Pacific Yachting & Sailing. If students go through 8 days of instruction and they don't pass the practical check out they can take a one day review/ check out to pass the Bareboat Charter qualifications.

Completion of this class prepares you to take the ASA Bareboat Chartering Certification. This is a good course for those interested in chartering the Pacific Yachting Sailboats as well as in many tropical locations that we can help arrange for you.

ASA Certification: Bareboat Chartering

Once a student passes the practical Bareboat requirements they can charter a boat here at Pacific Yachting. We recommend taking the three ASA written exams ( Basic Sailing & Seamanship, Basic Coastal Crusing and Bareboat Chartering) after becoming Bareboat certified.

Most students take the time to study the books- Sailing & Cruising Fundamentals prior to taking the written exams. Pacific Yachting administers the written exams which are not open book. Please click here for more information on the ASA certification- American Sailing Association
