Private Sailing Classes on customer sailboat with or without ASA certification:

Private Sailing Classes, with or without ASA Certification, are available on a customer-owned sailboat and are of interest to students who want to hire a competent captain to help improve their sailing and seamanship skills. Class content is determined by communication between students and Delmarva Sailing School personnel. Typical examples are new sailboat owners or those about to charter a sailboat but feel they need to improve some of their skills first.

Please contact Captain Mike Brown at Captainmike@delmarvasailingschool.com or call 215-499-0335 to discuss your objectives and schedule a Private Sailing Class on a customer-owned sailboat to become a competent sailboat captain.

Travel expenses are included if the student’s sailboat is no more than 25 miles from Rock Hall, MD. 

If the customer desires ASA Certification, ASA Course Materials and Certifications are included at no additional charge for 2-5 students.  

All sailboat and slip fees are the responsibility of the boat owner.

For multiday sailing classes, unless other arrangements are made, the captain sleeps on the student sailboat and eats on board food at no cost to the captain. All boat expenses are the sailboat owner’s. A minimum of one full day is required.
