Course Structure

This course is a 6 day/5 night course, starting on Monday and finishing on Saturday. Saturday evening is spent ashore.

CPM challenges those students who have taken Basic Keelboat and Live Aboard Cruising or have the equivalent qualifications. Everything you learned from the aforementioned courses is put to use along with new skills you master through this course. Some of these skills include night time approaches to anchorages, night time man overboards, full on navigation, lights at night, standing watches, proper customs and immigration procedures, and all of the safety items one must know when sailing out of sight of land. Along with the ongoing studies we visit St. Martin and St. Barths, some of the most intriguing islands in the Caribbean.

The tuition rate for the group Coastal Passage Making course is $2,295, December - June. Rate includes the Passage Making text, first and last night hotel accommodations, cruising permit, provisioning for 5 days (5 breakfasts; 4 lunches; 2 dinners; snacks and starter kit); US Sailing Passage Making Certification fee.
