​

1. Crew Foundations

Day-one essentials: line-handling, safe winch work, trimming sails for speed and balance, MOB recovery, and enough nautical lingo to impress salty bartenders.

2. Coastal Cruising Tactics

Docking without drama, anchoring that actually holds, basic coastal navigation, weather reads, and how to plot a half-day passage you could fly solo tomorrow.

3. Liveaboard Seamanship

Systems 101 (diesel, electrics, heads, watermakers), smart provisioning, galley safety, and leave-no-trace best practices that keep Baja sparkling.

4. Bareboat Skipper Skills

Passage planning, watch-keeping, night sailing drills, and real-world troubleshooting—because something will squeak, leak, or beep at 02:00.

5. Multihull Mastery (Cat track)

Twin-engine dancing, no-heel sail trim, multihull anchoring tricks, and tight-quarter turns that make charter bases smile.

6. Adventure Electives (Pick what thrills you)

Whale-shark snorkel protocols • Spear-fishing basics • Drone footage 101 • Advanced reef-dodge navigation.

How We Sign It Off

• Skill stamps in your logbook.

• End-of-week competence badge you can flash at charter companies.

• Alignment with top industry standards (certification pathway coming soon).

Learning Style

Small crews, heaps of helm time, rapid-fire feedback, and zero boring lectures. Everything happens in the cockpit, on the bow, or over a chart—right where you’ll use it.

Safety & Comfort

Every module is taught by a skipper with current first-aid creds and thousands of offshore miles. Alcohol waits until the anchor’s set; some boats have A/C, others rely on Baja’s natural breeze—we match you to the right hull.

Gear You’ll Use

Modern plotters, paper charts (yes, still important), handheld GPS backups, eco-friendly cleaning kits, and the odd ukulele for morale.
