ASA 104 - Bareboat Charter

This 3 day/3 night live-aboard course is an advanced cruising class, designed for students who are interested in bareboat chartering. Students will be trained to act as skipper and crew of a 35-foot auxiliary powered sailboat in coastal waters.

The class begins with doing the provisioning for the 3 day/3 night trip on Friday evening and students will spend the night at the dock in Vallejo. On Saturday morning we will sail across San Pablo Bay and spend two nights at anchor on the San Francisco Bay before returning to Vallejo Monday afternoon.

This class includes instruction on boat systems and maintenance procedures. Students will also learn how to provision for a cruise and will be cooking aboard. It is recommended that students read the textbook prior to starting the class in order to be as prepared as possible. A written test and a practical on-the-water test are given at the end of the class. With successful completion of this class, the student will receive Bareboat Charter ASA certification.
