20+ Years of Real-World Training — From Anxious to Assured, On the Water & Online.
From Nervous to Confident — Step-by-Step Training Backed by 20+ Years at the Helm.
Train for what actually happens on the water from anywhere. This is a 100% online course. Each module gives you a real Captain’s Log scenario, a step-by-step Playbook, short Drills to make it stick, and quick-reference Cockpit Cards for high-stress moments. Learn the concepts—and exactly what to do when it’s real.
Train on your boat, in your world—your marina and the waterways you actually use.
I offer: 10-Hour Complete Training, 5-Hour Beginner Course, and 3-Hour Masterclasses (e.g., Docking).
You can study rules online, but real comfort and confidence only come from real water.
I’ll teach you to operate your boat safely and with confidence.
Need extra support beyond training? I offer personalized consulting and add-on services, including:
Phone or Zoom calls to review boating gear (Amazon product links available) and answer questions
GPS setup and custom route plotting
Boat transport and relocation
These services are designed to give new boaters clarity and confidence while freeing you from trial and error.
