I have been a professional mariner for 24 years and instructing for 12 on a large variety of vessels and with a myriad of needs from my students.

 

I founded the Ocean Sailing Academy, Inc. in 1997 and served as the lead instructor until selling the business in 2006.  I hold a U.S. Coast Guard 100-ton Master, an MCA (Maritime Coastguard Agency) 200-ton Ocean Master, I am an MCA Power/Sail Instructor and Examiner, a U.S. Sailing Instructor at all levels, an ASA Instructor and a passionate mariner who holds a true love for the sea and everything involved in enjoying adventures upon her.

 

My assistance is strictly customized to your particular needs.  We will discuss your goals, design a curriculum that develops the skills you need and proceed with one on one instruction for you and any crew that you may be interested in having along.

 

Please take a moment to read some of the comments made by my past customers and feel free to contact me to inquire about how I can make your yachting life more pleasurable.

 

I am always happy to help, even if you only have a quick question or need my opinion.  Just call or e-mail, I look forward to hearing from you.
