Let Your Dreams
Set Sail.

For years, I've been wanting to build up my confidence in sailing. Instructor Jenn (and Greg too!) did just that! As well, BPY worked with me to get in both ASA 101/103 in a timely manner. Looking forward to more time on the water and mahalo to the confidence these guys instilled in me!

I just completed my 101 & 103 at BPY. Jenn, Ellie and the whole crew are fantastic - they will make you feel welcome, no matter how experienced or inexperienced you are.This is a top-class operation so if you are looking for somewhere to learn or charter, look no further.

Friendly, helpful staff. Nice sailboats in good condition. They didn't explain the parking well and lots require payment by a payment station, I got a ticket during the charter. Also, the web prices are low bc they don't include include the cleaning fee. We ended only being out for two hours and had to help furl the mainsail and boat up clean up.

I've completed the ASA 101, 103, 104, and 114 courses at Blue Pacific, as well as chartered one of their smaller boats for a day sail with friends, and have had nothing but great experiences with the staff and instructors! I recently took the combined 104 / 114 class with Captain Chris Kehrli who I highly recommend as an instructor. He perfectly balances safety, teaching, and fun - and like all of the blue pacific team is friendly and professional throughout. If you're at all curious about sailing, this is a great place to start!

Outstanding charters! Outstanding service! We've chartered twice now and the concierge-like service is unmatched in the South Bay. Chartering the boat was so quick and easy both times. Both times we were met at the dock by the courteous and knowledgeable staff who walked me through a very thorough pre-sail inspection and walk-through, answering all of my questions. The boat, Dream Catcher (Dufour 560), is in impeccable condition and is obviously well-maintained. We have become members knowing that we have found a great organization who will meet all of our chartering needs.

We had a great day at Sea with BPY. Our group of 15 rented a 75 footer. Things got pretty crazy once the Aux chord started to get passed and the white claws started to flow. The staff was amazing, cleaning as we were having fun eating cake and drinking and always making sure the fridge was stocked. They also helped load and unload the paddle boards. I was hoping to drive the boat - got Denied. Our outing was a little long, 6 hours at Sea in the heat was draining and fatiguing. Luckily there was indoor seating and tons of H2O

I went from only being on a sailboat once in my life to complete confidence. Curtis was an informative and enjoyable instructor both in the classroom and on the boat. The class was small and had a mix of experience. Would encourage anyone of any skill level to join. Pro tip: definitely read the book beforehand focusing on the terms in the glossary.

I had an excellent experience getting my ASA 101 certification here. The quality of the instruction, the boats, and the overall experience is excellent. I'll be continuing my sailing education here. The value is extremely high.

I took the ASA 101 class here with Curtis. He's an amazing instructor who really walked us through everything and always made sure we understood. He instilled a lot of confidence in me to be able to sail even though I've never sailed before.The sailboat we were on looked very well maintained and was easy to learn on.The school itself has a great system of online booking, classroom, communication, and making sure you're prepared to take the class.I'll definitely be coming back here for my ASA 103!

I recently passed ASA 101 at Blue Pacific and highly recommend this sailing school/club to others! It was a lot of materials to cover over the course of two days, but our instructor, Aaron, did a really fantastic job explaining and demonstrating everything. I really look forward to continuing ASA 103 with Blue Pacific in just a few weeks!A few things to highlight: 1) I did a TON of research prior to signing up at Blue Pacific, comparing different ASA schools listed below in Marina del Rey (they are all priced very differently), and BPY is the BEST bang for your buck if you are a quick learner: - Marina Sailing: the cheapest, but their boats are in absolutely awful condition. You can see how terrible and old the sails are just by watching their boats drive by. Could cause safety issues if the boats are in terrible conditions. - Bluewater Sailing: owner is really nice, but about 2.5x expensive for just 101 alone (about $2000, way too much imo), more thorough and you get more on-water time. To me, the cost is not worth it personally. Could be useful to those who don't find sailing intuitive and need more time to pick up the most basic skills. Not a fit for me. - BPY: I find sailing (similar to driving) very intuitive especially when you are sitting at the helm and wind is hitting your face. I was not overwhelmed by any of the materials thrown at me over the course of two days, and thought I picked everything up pretty quickly. There was someone in my class who didn't pass 101, and it is NOT a reflection of the teaching quality of the instructor at all. Some people take longer to pick up skills, and that's perfectly ok. I thought our instructor Aaron did an amazing job, and it's a good thing that not everyone passes 101 -- that means the school sticks to its standards. Overall BPY is really good if you're a quick learner! 2) BPY does reciprocity with other sailing clubs! It's like a buddy / sister club system where if you're a member at another sailing club, you might get membership discounts at BPY too. Talk to Ruth in the office -- she's very nice and helpful if you have any questions!
