What people are saying

"I had a need for some orientation on my new boat, a 42 foot Sundancer.  I had some familiarity with the Intracoastal Waterway but not so much in coastal cruising.  I contacted Captain Roy and he was willing and gracious and our schedules were compatible.  He spent time on navigation principles, electronic navigation and talked specifically about the need for redundant systems while at sea in the event of an equipment failure.   We charted and I fixed my position while out of sight of land, in fact, we were close to 200 miles off shore.  I identified waypoints before the fact and followed each of them on the trip back.  It was particularly gratifying to me to develop a skill that I did not have.  Captain Roy was knowledgeable and yet not pushy.  He is very capable, has extensive awareness  and I recommend him highly."

"As the wife of a man destined to be at sea, I thought it important that I learn as much as I could about identifying and improving my on the water skills.  The training conducted by Captain Roy was tailored just for me.  He was passionate and yet compassionate as he worked with me to learn on a schedule that fit my needs.  I now feel more at ease and less stressed as I move about the boat knowing its capabilities.  He spent time on the maneuverability of a boat with twin screws and let me practice until I felt comfortable docking in a side current with a head wind.   I feel like I can be of real help to my partner and can be relied upon to make the right decisions thanks to my at sea training time with Captain Roy."
