A weeklong liveaboard bundle compressing the three foundational ASA certifications — Basic Keelboat, Basic Coastal Cruising, and Bareboat Cruising — into a single immersive course on Knot on Call.

A 6–8 hour one-day in-class course on the navigational theory and practices required for safe coastal and inland sailing.

Sea Time & Skills

A no-exam course for accruing logged sea time and refining specific skills — safety procedures, vessel handling, sail trim, collision regulations, or whatever the student wants to work on. All on-water time is recorded and verified in the student's personal sailing log. Format and emphasis are tailored to the student; pricing tracks duration and difficulty.

From $85.00 CAD per hour plus HST (negotiable by duration and difficulty)

Sailing Lessons (your boat or ours)

Hourly, customised lessons run on the school's boat or on the student's own boat. Useful for fine-tuning specific skills or preparing for charter holidays without enrolling in a full ASA certification. Lessons are tailored to the student's requirements and schedule.

$85 CAD per hour, $255 minimum, plus HST (plus travel if more than 25 km from the instructor's location)
