The highest rated instructors in the ASA

Our instructors excel at making the process of learning fun. Bluewater’s goal is to increase your confidence on the water with as much hands-on-the-wheel experience as possible. You’ll find that the extra time on the water we provide combined with a fun ASA certified step by step process builds both the “muscle memory” and intellectual knowledge you’ll need to set sail with confidence.

Enjoy an unrushed, easy learn-by-doing process

For over forty years Bluewater Sailing has been committed to delivering educational excellence at every level of sailing instruction. That begins with a staff of instructors that are unique – professional mariners credentialed by the USCG, as well as highly gifted teachers. You’ll find good humor, a supportive environment, and good fun as you build your sailing skills.

Build skills aboard the largest fleet of vessels reserved for students​

Bluewater maintains its fleet of coastal cruising sailboats in the second largest man-made marina in the world located in Marina Del Rey, CA. Depending upon the Bluewater course you take, you’ll sail aboard one or a number of different vessels ranging from 22 to 36 feet in length. Bluewater is unique in that we only charter our boats to students. Our goal is to provide you with vessels after you have completed class in order to support your continued education.
