My girlfriend and I took the ASA101 class as part of a birthday gift. Unfortunately they are a bit short on instructors due to the pandemic. The experience was less than par for us. Some things were stuff I would have expected better from the instructor (e.g. taking us out during a small craft advisory, yelling at us for trying to figure something out on our own when he wasn't acknowledging our questions) for a class we paid almost 500 a person for but, some of the issues were due to other people in the class that the instructor just didn't try to address (students taking 103 and 104 later in the week sidetracking the whole calls to ask questions not related to the 101 class or not listening to the instructor and almost running the boat aground). We did however speak with management which was super professional and polite about the whole situation. They offered to allow us to retake the class with a different instructor since the the first instructor only taught us how to rig the boat and only had us do 3 or 4 of the 10 or so skills you need to get certified. We agreed with with management to take a spring class as our retake to allow time for more instructors to be brought in and also late fall and all winter is not the best time to be on the Chesapeake bay. The class would have been fun and I'm sure it will be great when we retake it. There just happened to be a perfect storm of issues this go around, not all being the schools fault. We are more than happy to give SailTime a second try though. Here's hoping to a better review in the spring.

Great day on the water with Captain Dan, very knowledgeable and professional. He was amazing teaching the art of sailing to my two girls 11 and 14. I learned at their ages so he was very inspirational for them. Our family really enjoyed it and I would highly recommend a day out with Captain Dan on SailTime.

This was fabulous fun for our whole family. Several hours out on the water was relaxing and exhilarating. The weather is key but that goes without saying.

ASA 101 course was absolutely enjoyable and informative. I went from having no prior sailing experience to feeling very comfortable at the helm and much more prepared to go out on the water. I'm obviously not prepared to cross the Atlantic solo but that is not the purpose of that particular course It is to cement in the basics and provide you with a solid starting point to build on and the staff here do an excellent job of it. You will feel welcome and a part of the family and will have an enjoyable time with this group of individuals. A big thanks to Dan and Holly for an enjoyable weekend and a well run program.

I completed the 2-day ASA 101 Sailing course with Sailtime and couldn't be more satisfied. The course was professionally delivered, challenging and fun. Capt. Dave did a phenomenal job managing us (3 students with widely varying degrees of experience). I walked away with a true appreciation and understanding of material and the joys of sailing.
