*******************************************************

Belize Sailing Vacations is proud to be an American Sailing Association (ASA) affiliated sailing school and the only ASA school in Belize. We specialize in customized sailing instruction delivered in a catamaran charter environment over the course of multiple days.

Sailing courses are taught following the approved curriculum of the American Sailing Association and result in ASA certification.  Our classes offer a personalized all-inclusive sailing experience with the right balance of education, relaxation and adventure.

Our experienced instructors deliver ASA sailing school material in a safe and fun learning environment surrounded by some of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean. We will work with you to tailor a curriculum to meet all your training needs.

Belize Sailing Vacations offers sailing instruction in an informal but thorough delivery style, where the catamaran is our classroom and the beautiful sailing our material for learning. Earn ASA sailing school certifications while enjoying the Caribbean vacation of a lifetime. Our Belize sailing school curriculum offers a rich blend of technical skill, confidence building, and common sense coupled with a spirit of adventure and romance for sailing.

We refer to our courses as “instructional charters” and believe they are the most effective way to learn because you are immersed in a hands-on sailing environment for the entire time. Your instructional sailing charter allows you to complete your training and build additional confidence, all while sailing and exploring the amazingly diverse waters of Belize.  We offer both private and group ASA classes and our bottom line is ‘sailing is fun’ and we believe your ASA sailing certification should be as well.
