ASA Classes In Florida
Posted by j_andrew_h@reddit | sailing | View on Reddit | 13 comments
Does anyone have ASA recommendations or negative reviews to be aware of for ASA courses in Florida? I'm based in Orlando, FL so from Tampa to the space coast areas are probably best.
I want to start my ASA courses to get to charter eligible or maybe to buy a boat. I'm not a beginner by any means but I also do want to learn and be confident in all the little things that I might not know yet, so a good class is important to me. So any experiences or anything you can share could help me select the right school would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I was curious about the school in Sanford at least for my 101 & maybe 103 class since it's so convenient for me. Thanks!

We took 101, 103, 104 over the course of a week in St. Augustine and it was great. The instructors were professional, patient, and very knowledgeable. It was hard, but my wife and I felt like we got real training, not just a hand-wave and a pat on the back. The equipment was in very good shape and you can’t beat the area. Highly recommended

Seconded! Great instructors on beautiful boats. It might be a touch further from your location but it was a great experience.

Not too terribly far and certainly would go up there for the right school. Thanks!

I completed ASA 103 with Flagship Sailing in Ruskin FL which is a little south of Tampa. They are good people. And there are cheap accomendations close by.
