Pursuing the endless horizon!
Discover sailing: the ultimate adventure!
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bow lines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain

Sailing and Seamanship training is at the core of our business: In affiliation with the American Sailing Association we offer the most structured and efficient way to bareboat skipper qualification (by means of the ASA 101, 103, 104 bundle) which entitles you to skipper and charter sailing yachts worldwide, but we do not stop there!
Horizon Yachting (Cyprus) is affiliated with the American Sailing Association (ASA) and offers the following courses (please follow the links for detailed description):
We usually advise our students to take the ASA courses in two bundles:
- Bareboat skipper: to become a bareboat skipper someone needs to take courses ASA101, ASA103 and ASA104. No previous experience is required. With completion of the above courses the newly certified skippers gain the knowledge and experience required for successful bareboat chartering or to skipper a sailing yacht in coastal waters in moderate weather conditions.
- Advanced cruising skipper: To become an advanced cruising skipper someone needs to be a Bareboat skipper, have sea miles in his logbook and take courses ASA105, ASA106 and ASA118. Usually, the practical instruction for advanced cruising skippers is delivered in the context of a longer passage. Advanced Cruising skippers develop several skills and are trained to skipper a sailing vessel in all weather conditions in coastal waters or in passages
In addition to the American Sailing Association courses, we offer the following in house short courses to enhance the skills of our skippers and produce safer sailors.
- VHF Radio course
