Sailing starts here...
As a part of the Key Lime Sailing Club, the American Sailing Academy is one of the few facilities in the world to make learn-to-sail dreams come true in a perfect "economical" vacation setting. The Club has a fleet of Catalina 22's and O'Day 22's available for guests to use as soon as they complete their classes and even larger boats for the Advanced Sailing Course. This is a unique sailing vacation experience because with each guest's Florida "Key-zee" accommodation unit comes along a free sailboat at their disposal during their stay.
We are also proud of the fact that the British Royal Marines pay us a visit every year to undergo intensive training using our staff and facilities: a testimony to our dedication in providing quality learn-to-sail programs.
Whether it is sailing off for a mangrove jungle tour or heading off to one of the Florida Everglades National Park islands, you will be free to relax, sail and enjoy the rest of your vacation at your own pace as soon as you complete the 10 to 15 hour course. The course can be taken over a two to five day period depending entirely on your level of learning.
With the Academy's thorough yet enjoyable curriculum, students will learn all they need to know to safely and effectively navigate their way from points A to B to C and beyond; and, more importantly, how to get back!
We provide people of all ages and from all walks of life a sailing experience to develop character, build self-esteem and a sense awareness of the needs of others through teamwork and the shared adventure.
