Why Charleston?
Charleston, SC

Conde Nast Traveler Magazine's 'Top American Destinations' ranked Charleston a fantastic number two. Additionally, Travel & Leisure's annual 'World's Best' awards ranked Charleston number 4, immediately behind New York, San Francisco and Quebec City.  Not bad.

Charleston provides a comfortable and enjoyable backdrop for sailing. Each evening, enjoy the small city's world class restaurants, culture, history, ambience and warm hospitality. Step back in time wandering cobblestone streets, exploring antique shops, touring the city on a horse-drawn carriage and enjoying the fantastic cuisine in Charleston's renowned restaurants. Next day return to sailing fully refreshed.


Charlestonians are America's friendliest people." - Travel & Leisure Magazine, Oct. 2008

When visiting this charming city you'll see for yourself why the readers of Conde Naste Traveler magazine rated Charleston 2nd among the top domestic destinations and 11th in the world.

* The school's convenient placement on Charleston Harbor provides easy access to open waters for OSA's courses.

* New students enjoy the spacious sailing area of the harbor while benefiting from experience with every navigational aid used in U.S. waters.

* Cruising students enjoy inlet hopping along the coast as they sail the waters of the Atlantic en route to some of the most secluded anchorages on the east coast.

* The challenging tidal flow of the area helps develop students' sail planning and close-quarters maneuvering skills.
