Its 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 Ive 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 youre local to San Diego or not - I cant recommend West Coast Multihulls + Anthony (The Happy Captain) enough. I completed my ASA 104/114 with West Coast + Anthony as the Instructor. Ive 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.Anthonys 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, youll probably want to go buy that boat youve been dreaming about and set sail for the next year. :)

I cant 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!

I did the 101, 103, 104, 114 class for a week. The school was really easy to work with. Guinevere was awesome to work with. We got good and thorough documentation on what to expect, what we need to know and pre-study, and the schedule. Our instructor Captain Don was very knowledgeable on so many different things having been sailing most his life. Don knows pretty much everything about most boats youll see, from rigging and sailing techniques to the systems and all aspects of operation.Don knows how to do everything, shows you how to do it, explains why its done that way and watches you do the same thing until you got the hang of it.....Hes a good teacher in a way that makes things easier to remember.A friend also took the same classes 3 weeks earlier and said that instructor was top notch as well. We cant wait to charter out 1st bareboat from them in La Paz!!

Took the asa 101 sailing course with West Coast Multihulls. Overall experience exceeded my expectations. Very professional team, vessel was in great condition and extremely friendly team. Our instructor was diligent in teaching us content both in a practical and theoretical standpoint. I highly recommend them.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.So far it was the best time of my sailing experience ..I will never forget this seven days of my life.Lets the sails fly !!!!

The team at West Coast Multihulls went above and beyond to align the course with our schedule and provided world-class sailing lessons. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for certification(s) and introduction to the sport.

Great experience, very professional, friendly and experienced staff, felt like a private lessons although we were 3 students all with very different learning skills. highly recommended.
