Get certified through the American Sailing Association with this week long live-aboard sailing course. With courses from Beginner to Advanced, you can get certified to charter your own boat.
This trip is about building your experience, skills and confidence in a friendly, supportive atmosphere. Enabling you to plan your own adventures safely and letting you enjoy the sense of independence and freedom that sailing brings.

Join a flotilla
Flotillas are the most social way to sail. You will make new friends from all around the world, all bonding over this shared experience.
We organize multiple boats to sail together from destination to destination, rafting the boats together in the evening. We share big group dinners, take tours together and enjoy fun evenings spent together as a group.
Joining a flotilla can also be the most economical way to go sailing. It can be hard to organise a big group of friends to charter a full boat. Why not just grab your best friend and go for it - book a cabin, join a shared boat, and get out there to explore the world.

Performance Sailing Week
Sail away on an exciting adventure onboard a performance sailing catamaran or monohull.

These sleek and stylish yachts are designed for speed and maneuverability, making them the perfect vessel for gaining experience. Refine your sail trim, practice heavy weather tactics and learn how to get the most from your yacht.

Whether you’re advancing your skills in preparation for delivery of your new yacht, or simply want to enjoy the thrill of sailing fast and efficiently, you’ll love learning to sail on a performance yacht.

Meet the Crew

  • 2022 American Sailing Outstanding Instructor Award

    Jack first left Australia to cross the Atlantic aboard the original La Vagabonde monohull along with his cousin Riley and Elayna.

    Bitten by the sailing bug, he started out as a charter skipper but soon gravitated towards instructing and found his calling there.

    Now with around 100,000 nautical miles under his belt, Jack is a sailing instructor with both the American Sailing Association to advanced levels, and a Royal Yachting Association Yachtmaster Instructor. Coaching is his passion and he works hard to ensure that people get as much hands-on experience as possible. You can find him happily manning the tiller while at sea or enthusiastically leading a group snorkel adventure.

    Jack loves to sail fast and is always keen to get the best performance from his crew and the yacht.
