Southernmost Sailing is an ASA teaching facility. The following is a list of the ASA course curriculums we offer. If you are interested in multi-course packages, we can customize the curriculum to meet your needs. We charge for our courses a little different than most. - ASA certification is $200 dollars per day plus course materials and the cost of the charter boat. We use this ala-carte system to allow you the flexibility to create the package you desire. Most of our students are either one or two couples, with one, some or all participating.
