The Sailing Academy 411 Deale Road, Tracys Landing, MD 20779

"10/10 ASA 104 course with Captain Scott. Learned invaluable lessons that I’ll remember for the rest of my sailing journey. Well worth the money and the time. Ended up being the only student that weekend so grateful they kept the class open for me. I had the opportunity to reschedule at no charge for a different experience with other students but schedule didn’t align. Appreciate all the options though. Big thanks to Stephanie and Scott for all the information leading up to the class and during the class. Hope to be back!"

"Great experience! I really enjoyed the ASA101 course. It was blowing 20 kt with 30 kt gusts on day one, so we learned about reefing first hand. I appreciated having the opportunity to experience strong winds and get a feel for how the boat moves in that situation. Our instructor, Phineas, was calm and I felt safe while we were out. In the classroom, Phineas knew his stuff, and I got the sense that sailing is part of who he is, which inspired confidence on the water."

"Simply the best! Drove over 3 hours from home to take the ASA101 and 103 courses based on the reputation The Sailing Academy has built. Both Captain Angie and Captain Phin are such good coaches and teachers. So patient and made it so enjoyable to learn. I will be back!"

"Exceptional instructors. As a former small boat sailing instuctor (7 years) I chose The Sailing Academy for my cruising ASA certifications. At the Sailing Academy women are treated as and encouraged to be equally proficient sailors as their male counterparts. In a sport where women ofen step in excited but with less exposure this is super valuable."

"My family and I really enjoyed our time on the water. Captain Angie provided great instruction and challenged our skills safely. We look forward to the next time to sail. We liked the location too, with a good restaurant righ next door."
