Our dedication to sailing began in 1965 with the creation of Nelson Marine Basin. This gives us the ability to nurture the novice sailor to become a seasoned keelboat owner. Having served the needs of both racing and cruising sailors for over 30 years has given us experience our customers have come to rely on. We are a unique hybrid of a full service marina, and an A.S.A. Sailing School with a rental fleet of over 20 boats. This gives us the ability to nurture the novice sailor to become a seasoned keel boat owner.
Sailing has many alluring qualities.
It s challenging and exciting, but most of all, sailing is fun. We believe that having fun is the most important facet of sailing. However, without the proper training, a day on the water can become dangerous. This is where the ASA plays an important roll. The ASA is the largest nationwide association of sailors, sailing instructors, charter fleets and sailing schools.
