| Review: | Exceeded expectations I just finished a bareboat certification course in the BVI. A friend of mine did the research and chose Blue Water largely on the recommendation of some former students. Our trip could not have been better. We had a great time and learned more than I expected to. Our captain was Bill Miles. He tried hard to find the best teaching style for us to learn and made sure we got it. The days went by fast with so much to pay attention to and we were able to enjoy our own time in the evening. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | A-One Start to Finish After careful consideration we chose Blue Water Sailing School from a long list of possibilities. One of the reasons we went with them was because they sent study materials in advance. That gave us time to familiarize ourselves with the language and concepts of sailing. The price was competitive with no hidden extras. Captain Bill Miles was relaxed, knowledgeable, fun and thorough. We were always confident that Bill could handle any sailing situation that we might find ourselves in.(The weather was perfect, wind and waves cooperative, and we were terrrific students so he wasn't challenged!) He demonstrated, helped and pushed at exactly the right time. He also respected our intelligence, our abilities to learn and guided us through our weaknesses. It was an exhilarating experience overall. Go to Blue Water! Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Unpleasant Experience It really comes down to who the captain is. Based on others' reviews, you can see that many had positive experiences. We were unlucky in the captain assigned to us and it made the entire experience an unhappy and frustrating experience. Comments [ 1 ] |

| Review: | Blue Water Bahamas Cat Course Excellent Alex Hill at Blue Water's Abaco Bahamas base offered an excellent week long program. We went from basic sailing through basic cruising and bare boating a large cat. The 45 foot Prout cat was very accommodating and provided for great hands on training. Abaco is wonderful location for sailing lessons mix of shallows and deep water, with lots of fun offshore spots to visit after "class". Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Basic Sailing Course This school has produced the ideal program I think, to obtain ASA 101, 103 and 104 certification. It's a "learn by doing" week long live-aboard cruise with excellent instructors. Mine was Jose Miranda and I can't imagine one better. Comments [ 0 ] |
