Our 5-day liveaboard training program is a fully immersive, hands-on sailing and offshore cruising experience aboard One World, our Amel Super Maramu 2000 — a proven Category A bluewater cruising sailboat built for serious offshore passagemaking.
Depending on weather and sea conditions, passages may include Catalina Island, the Channel Islands National Park, or a combination of both. Potential destinations include Anacapa Island, Santa Cruz Island, Santa Rosa Island, San Miguel Island, Santa Barbara Island, and Catalina Island. Every trip is weather-driven, and routing decisions become part of the learning experience.
Students participate in all aspects of operating a cruising sailboat underway and at anchor, including sail handling, navigation, watchstanding, radar and AIS use, anchoring, weather routing, docking, dinghy operations, and onboard systems management. Training may also include electrical systems, battery management, watermakers, diesel engine troubleshooting, safety equipment, and emergency procedures.
The five-day format also allows time for hiking, exploring remote anchorages, snorkeling, and experiencing the incredible natural beauty of the California Channel Islands and Catalina Island.
