It's rare that the experience you hope for, the little fantasy you have playing in your head prior to an event, is actually surpassed by the event itself. That is what West Coast Multihulls delivered for me. From the warm greeting by Guinevere, to the experience and laid-back, yet professional attitudes and instruction of both Captain Eddie, and Captain Lance, I could not have asked for more. I took ASA courses 101, 103, 104, and 114 over 7 days and although it is a large amount of information and hands-on instruction to get through in one week, they did a tremendous job. Both the couple I took the class with and I tried to find some sort of constructive criticism to give to Guinevere at the end of the course and the only thing we could come up with was: More Wind! :) Seriously, I can not recommend West Coast Multihulls enough, the people are genuine and caring, the instruction is first class, and the experience is beyond amazing. Stop reading this and go make a reservation!

West Coast Multihulls is a very professional organization. I have just completed ASA 101, 103, 104, and 114 over the course of 1 week including 5 days on one of their catamarans up the coast to Catalina and back. Kudos to my instructors Ed (101), and Lance (103, 104, 114). They both are very talented, knowledgeable, and experienced sailors who know their craft and are well able to impart their knowledge to new sailors with confidence. Gunievere runs the office and has been great in keeping me informed over email and has answered all my inquiries in a timely fashion. One thing that really stood out to me was the fact that there were no hidden charges - that should be a small thing but I've had some pretty bad experiences elsewhere. All in all a first rate operation using excellent quality newer boats for training / charters. If you fly into San Diego (SAN) there is a Sheraton hotel over the road from the airport, about a 7 minute walk, and from there, the West Coast Multihulls office is about a 5 minute walk. If you are doing the Catamaran course (ASA 114) you will be able to stay on the boat the night prior to your departure which is nice. Southwest airline seems to have flights landing every few minutes... Highly recommended!

Whether you're local to San Diego or not - I can't recommend West Coast Multihulls Anthony (The Happy Captain) enough. I completed my ASA 104/114 with West Coast Anthony as the Instructor. I've taken courses at several sailing schools (BVIs, Panama, Los Angeles) and I learned more in the 3 days spent with Anthony as the instructor than I did any other course. Anthony's teaching style is empowering and allows you to teach other people to help you better understand \why\ things are done. His passion for the sailing lifestyle is infectious and his 30 years of on-the-water experience help him make more complicated subjects easy to understand to his students (e.g. for me it was Velocity Made Good). Only warning is after a weekend with Anthony West Coast, you'll probably want to go buy that boat you've been dreaming about and set sail for the next year. :)

Excellent Sailing Lessons and Bareboat Charter Program! The WCM staff; Guinevere, Vicky and Kurt are great to work with. I have been a happy customer of WCM since 2015, because they are very professional, the fleet is beautifully maintained, and above all, they are good people. They teach us the skills to bareboat and help us fall in love with catamaran sailing, especially to those of us who are susceptible to the lure of distant horizons. I have been sailing large catamarans since 2008 at different locations around the world, as it is one of the things I enjoy most in life. When we are getting new crew members ready for a sailing adventure, my first choice is to get a local bareboat charter from WCM, to do a crew sea trials. In addition, I have taken a few skill refresher clinics including docking and anchoring with them too. Recently, I did their “Catamaran Docking Clinic” with 2 of my regular crew and 1 new crew member. Captain Lance was our instructor, and by the end of the day our new crew member was docking a 40ft. Cat, forward, sideways and backwards like a PRO. Thank you!

I can't say enough good things about West Coast Multihulls! Eddie and Lance were both laid back yet incredibly knowledgeable. I was able to do things that I never thought I was capable of. The week long ASA certification trip was well worth the money and time. The boats were beautifully maintained and comfortable to be aboard. Thank you West Coast Multihulls for a memorable week!
