10 Classes & Workshops in Florida Keys That You Shouldn't Miss

As a part of the Key Lime Sailing Club, the American Sailing Academy is one of the few facilities in the world to make learn-to-sail dreams come true in a perfect, economical, vacation setting. The resort has a fleet of Catalina 22's available for guests to use as soon as they complete their classes and even larger boats for the advanced sailing courses. This is a unique learning experience. We will teach you to sail safely and with confidence. Our instructors have made sailing their profession, and are some of the best in the industry. You'll not only learn the art and science of sailing, but also experience sailing as a lifestyle! We pride ourselves on providing a stress free learning experience. After you complete your ASA-101 course, you'll be able to sail off on your own and explore the waters of Buttonwood Sound and Florida Bay. If you decide to stay at KLSC, you will have a boat at your disposal for the rest of your stay! There simply is no other place like this.

A two and a half hour workshop will teach you the fundamentals of building sand sculptures. Young and old will experience what it takes to complete a work of art just like the professionals do it. You'll find out what can really be accomplished with just sand and water. So bring your imagination and we'll handle the rest! Ages 6 and up. Please note that children under 12 require a parent or guardian to be present throughout the workshop.
