ASA vs NauticEd Basic Sailing Class

This review is going to be my personal feedback on what I think of the ASA 101 vs NauticEd Keelboat Skipper Certification.

Comparison Review

ASA 101

NauticEd Small KeelBoat Skipper

Class Duration

Total Cost

Cost Per Day

On the Water Training

2 days

USD $645

USD $322.50

I felt like 2 days of class was not adequate.

4 Days

USD $966.60

USD $241.65

Having the 2 extra days of the class really helped with improving my confidence.

The Book

The book covered a lot of basic information on sailing.

NauticEd’s online interactive training makes learning a lot more clearer.

The Class

Felt like the class tried to cover a lot of topics and felt a little rush.

The class was over 4 days and the instructor was able to spend more time on the water.

The Course

I was told that you need to take ASA 103 to get the full training experience.

On the NauticEd, that’s another 4-day course with KeelBoat Skipper on a larger boat.

The Instructor

The instructor focused a lot more of the technical aspect of the sailing.

The instructor focused more on understanding the sailboat and how to sail it.

In conclusion, if I were to do this again, I would take ASA 101 first and then NauticEd Small Keelboat Skipper again with no hesitation.
