Sailing Lessons GoBajaSailing

We had the best Capitain in the world. Anything was well organized, the individual preferences about lunch, day planing, shnorkling, maneuvers…time to feel free and time to learn. We passed the ASA tests easily and had best time. Now we are sailors. thank you.

My 16 year-old son and I just returned home from a week long trip with Go Baja Sailing. Captain Donna was exceptional! We passed our ASA 101, 103 and 104 tests with relative ease based on Captain Donna's teachings. We learned the foundations of coastal cruising and bareboat chartering and feel confident in putting those lessons to the test. We plan on taking more courses with Go Baja Sailing and will request Captain Donna as our Skipper when we do.

I had a great time. I did the 5 day liveaboard on the momohull. Spent 6 nights on the boat (1 at the marina). We were 4 students + 1 instructor (the instructor slept in the main area as there are only 4 beds).The provisionning was good. The sailing wasn't bad. We all got to experience the different roles.I got my ASA certification in the mail 3 weeks later.Everything went as planned.

If you want to have an amazing sailing class experience ask for Iker. He was awesome and had the patience of a saint when it came to teaching people how to sail. He knew how to meet each individual at their level of experience and bring them higher. We did four courses, 101, 103, 104 and 114. There is a lot of reading before you even step foot on board the sailboat. Study, study, study because once you board you are doing your practicals and there’s not a whole lot of time to read the book’s. Although there was a ton of information to absorb it wasn’t overwhelming and we had fun moments to catch our breath and enjoy the “vacation”. A side note, winter weather is cooler on the water than you think, bring cold weather gear like jackets and pants and maybe a beanie if you run on the cold side during the winter months. The cold cuts through you quickly. Food is supplied based on your needs. Make sure to speak up about what you want. The age and condition of the mono haul and the catamaran show and not everything works so be aware that you are not stepping onto a pristine boat.

Great Sailing Lessons, Really good people to work with to get ASA certified. You cant find a better place to do it than the Sea of Cortez.

Ahoy sailors! I have taken my classes from Go Baja Sailing's best instructor, who is now my husband, captain John. I just want to leave a note here to balance a comment that we are working on removing, that is from a person who has not taken any classes with Go Baja Sailing, and left a one star review to be vindictive. There is another company that does the charters and this is not the same as the company that does the sailing classes. Apples and Oranges. The review is inappropriate, as it is not for this business.Thank You for taking the time to read this. I hope you enjoy your sailing adventures!

I'm getting ready to purchase a catamaran, and I've been going to Baja for many years, so perfect, what better place to get my ASA certification than on the beautiful Sea of Cortez. You never really truly know what you are going to get in Baja, but in this case, I was pleasantly surprised. I would give the entire team at Go Baja Sailing an A+. Mike the owner was hands on and attentive. Our instructor, Nik, who is most important to me, was simply amazing. He made everyone's week at sea an unforgettable learning experience. By the end of the week we were all a team, and passed the course with flying colors. Soon after, I received my certifications in a timely manor. For anyone reading this who want or need ASA certifications, I highly recommend Go Baja Sailing.

I took a week-long course and passed the sailing certification but never received them. When I contacted Go Baja Sailing about it, they just told me to contact ASA. They took no responsibility of the situation, even though they were happy to take several thousand dollars from me for it. All in all my experience with Go Baja Sailing was not good. Although I will say that I did like my instructor a lot. My instructor was far more professional than the owner of Go Baja Sailing, who is very slow to offer any genuine concern about anything related to the customer experience. The boats also were run down and not cared for.I can not recommend this company and be warned that may never receive your certifications.

Had a great time getting my 101/103/104 cert w Go Baja Sailing. The boat was nice, well provisioned, and the spots we went to and anchored in were simply spectacular. The instructor we had, Nick, is a great guy—patient,kind and insightful. I also made new friends on the boat since it’s such a cooperative environment! An awesome way to spend a week of vacation!
