Experience Cruising (Beneteau 331/Catalina 310)
Location
Bluewater Bay Marina, 290 Yacht Club Drive, Niceville, FL 32578
Description
We offer a 2 1/2 hour sailing experience to get your feet wet (figuratively!). We will walk you through boating basics, then take you out on the water for hands-on time with one of our boats. This course is designed to build confidence in a low-pressure situation and can be accomplished on the J80 or the Beneteau 331. The J80 is used for the ASA 101 class and is a great teaching platform, but if you are looking for a more comfortable boat, the Beneteau 331/Catalina 310 is a better option. The cost is per boat, not per person.
We suggest you bring sun-block or some form of sun protection, hats, and sunglasses. We will have water on board, but you are welcome to bring your own drinks and snacks.
Sometimes we can experience rain showers so I suggest you bring a rain jacket – just in case.
And for cooler weather, I recommend you wear layers so you can take a layer off or add one on to suit the conditions.
Students need to wear white bottom/soft sole shoes - or a type of shoe that does NOT leave black marks on boat decks. Preferably you will want to wear a pair of shoes that have good skid resistance on wet surfaces. You don’t need special boat deck shoes; tennis shoes will work just fine.
