If you'd like to learn how to navigate a power boat but are wary of spending your summer taking boating classes, the Fast Track to Power Cruising could be your dream working vacation. Steve and Doris Colgate, founders of the Offshore Sailing School have partnered with NauticBlue charters to offer a six-day live-aboard learning vacation in the Bahamas and British Virgin Islands. The course which starts June 1, will use 35 - 47 foot power catamarans. Participants are trained by US Cruising Power Boat Certified instructors and learn about on-board systems, docking, anchoring, navigation, engine maintenance and more so that they can confidently handle boats up to 50 feet. Up to four participants live aboard with an instructor during the program.
