Marina Sailing is Southern California’s oldest and largest sailing charter and instruction company. Started in 1962, our six locations along the coast offer a wide range of boats from 22 to 50 feet, including monohulls, catamarans, and powerboats. We offer an extensive list of ASA courses and classes, our most popular being our Complete Sailing Course, which includes the ASA 101 and 103 certifications, and offers flexibility of schedule, with lessons offered every weekend throughout the year. Our newest course, the Ultimate Sailing Course, is a 5-day intensive live-aboard course and includes the ASA 101, 103 & 104 certifications and voyage to either Catalina Island or the Channel Islands. For experienced sailors we also offer advanced courses and classes, plus a beautiful fleet for your chartering pleasure.
