Thank you for inquiring about the Florida Sailing & Cruising School. We are an American Sailing Association Certification Facility (ASA) as well as one of the leading hands-on powerboating schools in the country.

Our programs are top notch. Our instructors are U.S. Coast Guard licensed Captains.

Southwest Florida offers some of the finest and most varied cruising anywhere. We feel it's the perfect area for our live-aboard, Learn-To-Cruise program. From remote islands to first-class marinas and resorts, we have it all!.

Our fleet is located at Tarpon Point Marina in Cape Coral, Florida, and is one of the nicest marine resorts in the area. Tarpon Point is home to the Westin Resort and Spa. Our customers have access to the pool and fitness facility. The property is also home to Marker 92 Restaurant, The Nauti Mermaid Bar & Grill, and Pinchers Seafood Restaurant. Along the Promenade you will find many fine shops and galleries. Located at the mouth of the Caloosahatchee River, Tarpon Point is at the gateway to the barrier islands of Southwest Florida. After your course, you may want to charter a yacht with us to put your skills into practice.

 Our area is one of the nicest cruising areas in the country and includes the barrier islands of Southwest Florida such as Sanibel and Captiva islands. For more than thirty years we have provided year-round boating instruction with a commitment to excellence.

For those who like to combine a vacation with learning to cruise, or wish to improve their cruising skills, we offer special packages that combine two or more courses. You may also want to spend some time at the beautiful Westin Hotel after you complete your class.

Come discover the adventure and enjoyment of cruising!

We hope to see you soon!

Pleasant Cruising,

Vic & Barbara Hansen
