Personalized Instruction
Are you brand-new to boating? Are you looking for Bareboat Charter Certification? Are you already a boat-owner and looking for topic-specific instruction in general boat-handling & docking, anchoring & mooring, pilotage & navigation, person overboard retrieval procedures or sail-trim? Perhaps you have recently upgraded and would appreciate some assistance in becoming more confident in operating a larger, heavier-displacement vessel? Do you need help with coastal or celestial navigation? Whether you already own or are thinking about purchasing a monohull sailboat, sail- or power catamaran, trawler, tug or motor-yacht, we would be delighted to help, either on your boat or one of the many modern boats available for charter in the Chesapeake Bay. With a combined 40 years of professional instruction experience, including certification by the American Sailing Association, plus the benefit of thousands of miles sailing in local and coastal waters, the ICW, the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico, the U.S. East Coast and trans-Atlantic, Capt.

Comments From Students
Just a note to let you know we held a “sailors reunion” last weekend. It is hard to believe that each of us (4) former landlubbers now feels confident that we can actually sail a large boat. The week we spent with you was a fantastic learning experience which we would recommend to anyone. Keep up the good work and do not let the harbormaster trim your sails because the crew keeps laughing. CHUCK J, SUSQUEHANNA, PA |

| We don’t know how to begin to thank you for your patience, your encouragement, and your confidence in us. Thanks, too, for sharing your expertise, your wisdom and, most of all, yourself. Spending the past week with you was challenging, enlightening, and lots of fun. We recognize how much you gave us as a teacher and as a friend. We sincerely appreciate every bit. BARBARA & TOM T, READING, PA | |||
| It hardly seems like just over a month ago my son and I completed two truly educational and thoroughly enjoyable weekends of sailing lessons with you. During the past several weeks we have had the opportunity to sail regularly and can now appreciate even more your patient, clear and straightforward manner of introducing us to sailing. It is clear that the techniques that we have learned with you have not only been effective for us as novices but will continue to provide us a terrific base on which to build and improve our skills. HENRY B, WILMINGTON, DE | |||
| We are still living off the memories of our fun week on the boat with you. I did want to thank you for your time and patience. Truly, Job would have had difficulty teaching me to sail; perhaps you will be beatified for your efforts! SUZANNE B, WINSTON-SALEM, NC | |||
| The training that I received exceeded my expectations in every way. Your technique with neophyte sailors was always enthusiastic and thorough. With plenty of hands-on sailing we were sailing almost before we knew it! Because of your superb instruction and encouragement our group of rookies advanced in confidence and skill level tremendously in four enjoyable days that passed too quickly. FRANK R, SWARTHMORE, PA | |||
| Now that I no longer have a tiller in my hand, I can finally write this long overdue thank you. Your compliments on my sailing progress are greatly appreciated and its all due to your excellent instruction. The course was terrific. I was a bit apprehensive going in, not knowing anything about sailing; however, after your superb lessons, I just couldn’t wait to get on a sailboat again. LYNDA B, LANCASTER, PA | |||
| This is to thank you for passing along some of your sailing ability with skill and sensitivity. The skills you passed along will last a lifetime. DAVE & JANE P, PALMYRA, PA | |||
