In my opinion, this is an ASA cert mill. In my 7 day 101-104 class we did zero docking, zero…read morenavigation other than line of sight, zero man overboard procedure (perhaps the most disturbing), zero discussion on sail trim/how to sail, anchored only one time, did not learn to provision, or to enter countries (captain provisioned and checked us in). Captain Jose Miranda was a nice person and answered the million questions that I had, but I can tell he was burnt out and just going through the motions of making sure we pass our ASA tests. He had zero interest in teaching us to dock or to sail properly, at least from my perspective. All students in my class had prior sailing experience, so we managed to do well when we did sail the boat. Jose would just go into the bridge deck and look at his phone while we sailed. Long story short, if you want certs fast and relatively easy, then BWSS is a good choice. However, if you actually want to learn to sail, I fully recommend another company like Maryland School of Sailing. I am having to take more classes just to learn the basics like docking and coastal navigation. Lastly, this is not an attack on the employees/owner of BWSS. Everyone was helpful and nice. The curriculum needs vast improvement, though. I do regret taking this class because wanted more in-depth training and practice. This was more like a classroom on a boat with 6 hours of vacation activities ever afternoon.

We had the most amazing time with Captain Ryan on our Charter. I booked a 4 hour charter which we…read morequickly realized we wanted to move to a 6 hour charter. The office was so accommodating and helpful and answered all of my questions quickly. The captain was also amazing. He made sure that not only the adults had a great time but our kids as well. He even helped the kids who got seasick out too by giving them tips on how to feel better and distracting them. I definitely plan on booking this again! only difference is now I know i will book a longer trip. The only suggestions I would give to the boat is to provide branded cups and towels if possible.

Bedbugs on the vessel Sundance. As awful as the bedbugs were the professionalism and customer…read moreservice of Scott at Fun in the Sun was even worse. When we were finally able to reach Scott to report the issue his initial response was "so, what are you gonna do about it." That call ended with him saying, "well there's a contract and we'll be going by the terms of the contract." Being two days sail from their dock we didn't have any real option other than sail it back. Half of our party went ashore to Uber from Key Largo to a hotel in Ft Lauderdale. The rest of us stayed with the captain to help sail back. We made it to Key Biscayne where the rest of us disembarked as the captain was willing to sail the rest of the way the following day single handed. We spent four nights of our eight night charter on the boat. Initially in conversations with Karin at Fun in the Sun we discussed at least a partial refund. In the end we received no refund and they wouldn't even return our security deposit. They implied it must have been us that brought the bedbugs aboard. As shown in the photos there is clear evidence of an active bedbug issue on Sundance that began before we arrived. The bite marks don't show up right away and initially looked like mosquito or fly bites. The linear pattern of the bites are what made us investigate the cabin for bedbugs. We found and disposed of 50-60 live bedbugs that we could find. They were mainly congregated behind the headboard. When we left the boat we left behind food and drinks for nine people for four more days, at least $500 worth. In addition we paid for four nights in a hotel and four days of restaurant meals that we hadn't planned on. This whole mess would certainly have ended up in litigation if we didn't live 2200 miles away.
