The Lenny Shabes Sailing Festival is 6 days and 6 nights of sailing in the British Virgin Islands. This flotilla in paradise is a celebration of the sailing lifestyle and pays tribute to all that Lenny Shabes, our late founder, has done for the world of sailing.
In this flotilla, we anticipate 10-20 boats made up of incredible individuals and schools from around the world, coming together for one amazing week.
We have secured a fleet of boats for our Affiliate schools to charter so everyone can take part. Affiliates can charter boats by booking through American Sailing and then sell cabins to their students. Affiliates can choose to offer cabins on a captained charter or offer a learn-to-sail vacation experience where sailors can earn certifications.
Each boat that is chartered by an Affiliate must have an ASA instructor or qualified captain onboard. We have both monohull and catamaran options available. Boats are first come first serve.
For example, an Affiliate charters a Leopard 404 for $7,701.40 and offers a learn-to-sail vacation for students to earn their 104 & 114 certifications for $4,750 USD per cabin. With one cabin reserved for the instructor the 3 remaining cabins would generate $14,250 USD of revenue.
