Our name says it all… We are catamarans! The very best immersion training aboard a variety of modern, well-maintained catamarans ranging in size from 38’ to 50’.

We offer customized live aboard sail training courses in the Bahamas, Key West, or on the Chesapeake Bay with ASA-certified instructors all of whom are US Coast Guard Licensed Instructors with years of cruising, racing, and chartering experience.

We truly love our jobs, but we take our sailing seriously so you will be safe on the water.

Take your sailing to the next level with Sail Away Catamarans! Special needs? Call and let us help you plan your learning vacation.

Our teaching philosophy is simple, fun, entertaining, and engaging. Focused on safety and providing the knowledge to set you confidently on your path for sailing.

The American Sailing (ASA) program has structured levels of sailing standards, which are examined at progressive certification levels at our sailing schools. Students who learn to sail with Sail Away Catamarans receive a Logbook that lists the standards, certifications, and records of sailing experience. All courses and examinations are run by ASA-certified instructors. When a certification level is successfully completed, your logbook is signed and stamped so that any charter or rental fleet operator can see your level of competency.

Whether you add ASA courses to your charter or desire to take classes as a part of a group of students, Sail Away Sailing School has you covered.

We are accredited with American Sailing (ASA), so the qualification you need to gain to be a sailing captain on a large catamaran is the ASA 114. Provided you have your ASA 101 as a prerequisite, you can learn all the necessary theory and skills to pass the 114 test in one of our fast-track seven-day courses.
