Celestial Navigation

Learn to Sail by the Stars, Sun & Moon

This five-day Celestial Navigation course is taught in conjunction with the Offshore Passage Making Course (OSS 108) in a program called Fast Track® to Offshore Passage Making (OSS 107/108). The first five days are taught ashore, using sextants and other aides to master the art of navigating as sailors did on ocean passages when there were no paper charts and electronic instruments. Why learn it now? Because when you are far out at sea, your electronics may fail and your only back-up will be navigating by the stars, planets, sun and moon.

Five Days Learning with a Master Seaman

This marine navigation course is taught over five days with an expert master seaman skilled in all aspects of long distance sailing and navigation. Plan to arrive the night before so you can get started immediately the first day of the course. You will spend five nights in accommodations ashore at one of our Gulfside Florida locations. If learning to navigation by the sun, moon and stars is all you wish to learn, you may take this marine navigation course alone without the six days of Offshore Passage Making which start on the sixth day of the Fast Track® to Offshore Passage Making Course.
