10/8/2026 - 10/11/2026
The "Monohull Pot-of-Gold" for most of our students, our ASA104 course is taught on our Beneteau Oceanis 390 or Elan Impression 444. One night at anchor at Bird Island along with a 25 to 30 mile ocean sail to Bald Head Island, NC for an overnight stay is included to prepare you for life aboard. You and your shipmates will be meal planning and budgeting for the course. (A gift card is made available to you for provisioning.) ASA 104 teaches the intermediate sailor the required skills to cruise safely as both skipper and crew on an auxiliary powered sailboat during a multi-day cruise upon inland/coastal waters in moderate/heavy winds and sea conditions. Learn about provisioning, boat systems, auxiliary engines, advanced sail trim, coastal navigation, anchoring / mooring, docking, emergency operations, weather, and more. We also offer ASA104 Certifications on our Ocean Sailing/Passage Training sailing adventures.
