In order to increase the number of Bahamians sailing, the Bahamas Sailing Association (BSA) realized it needed to build a broad base of young sailors and the best way to do it this was through a National Sailing School that caters to residents in all walks of life. Thus, the Bahamas National Sailing School (BNSS) was started in 2004 by the Bahamas Sailing Association (BSA) as a not-for-profit organization. Nassau, The Bahamas

Blue Water Sailing School is an American Sailing Association certified sailing school with lessons for sailors at every experience level. Our week-long, live-aboard cruising and sailing courses give dedicated students the experience and confidence to achieve their dreams of nautical adventure. We're based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and have additional locations in Rhode Island, the Virgin Islands, and The Bahamas.

We are located at Great Abaco Beach Resort (Boat Harbour Marina) in Marsh Harbour. We offer bareboat charters with excellent service and local knowledge so that you get the most out of cruising the Abacos. We also offer a unique concept of "Captained by Day, Bareboat by night". Your Captain is on board to guide you through the crystal waters by day, stopping to snorkel and enjoy the beautiful beaches, and then leaves you safely moored in a settlement or secluded cove each evening, every night in a different location. This is the best of both worlds of chartering. We also offer day sails with stops at the underwater parks to snorkel, island hop and sight see, a great day on the water! We also offer a Sailing School. Take advantage of your time aboard by learning the ropes, sign up for ASA sailing courses with your charter and gain certifications as you go! Courses will have you learning and living hands on with licensed Captain and ASA Certified Sailing Instructors. Marsh Harbour, Abaco Islands, Bahamas
