Private Captain (charter and delivery), and Instructor aboard sailing vessels of all sizes from 7m to 40m in length in all bodies of water. I've sailed multiple times across oceans and seas, working my way up from simple crew and chef who knew nothing about yachts to becoming a well-rounded and experienced blue-water and coastal sailor. I hold several basic and instructor certifications with NauticEd, RYA, and ASA. Despite all this, I'm constantly learning and enjoy being out on the waters paying it forward to everyone who wants to be a part of such a wonderful world. 🤩

Med Mooring Supervised Practice

Had the guys go pick a place where they could each take turns practicing to med-moor while I supervised. Each did phenomenally well. Chris won the scope challenge (again 😂)

EXPERT CREW!!

Left the dock with 24knots of wind on our port beam. Crew executed everything perfectly and we were able to get off the dock with no problem. Miraculously our anchor was not crossed with anyone else's. Absolute pro team!
