STAY SALTY
Sailing Flotilla
Stay Salty is more than a charter, and more than a sailing course. It's a week of real catamaran cruising with experienced mentors, a small community of adventurous sailors, and a place where learning is always available but never expected.
Take the helm for personalized sail coaching, dive into vibrant reefs, paddle ashore to hidden beaches, or simply relax with a book as turquoise water drifts by. End each day sharing sundowners and stories as the sun sets over a new anchorage, forging friendships that become just as memorable as the places you explore.
As Cruisers Academy's flagship catamaran program, Stay Salty brings our community together each year to explore a handpicked collection of the world's most spectacular cruising destinations.
UPCOMING FLOTILLAS
BELIZE 2026
Seven days sailing the second-largest barrier reef on Earth reef breaks, mangrove cays, and water so clear you'll second-guess your depth gauge. Small flotilla, real anchorages, no crowds. This is cruising the way it's supposed to feel.
BAHAMAS 2027
Turquoise banks, hidden cuts, and the kind of sandbar lunches you'll be talking about for years. A tight-knit flotilla of catamarans exploring the Exumas at a pace that actually lets you enjoy it, not just check it off.
Why sail with
Cruisers Academy?
Behind Cruisers Academy are co-founders Brady and Blue, lifelong sailors with more than 135,000 nautical miles of combined offshore experience.
Brady brings decades of bluewater sailing, weather expertise, and calm leadership to every trip, offering personalized coaching and the kind of practical seamanship that only comes from a lifetime at sea.
Blue is the creative force behind Cruisers Academy, thoughtfully designing each experience—from the trip logistics and guest communication to the countless details that make every adventure feel unforgettable.
Together, they've built more than a sailing school—they've built a community of sailors who believe the best way to learn is by doing. Stay Salty is where those lessons leave the classroom behind and come to life under sail, set against one of the most spectacular cruising grounds on Earth.
