Captain Rob was seriously the best instructor – so patient and knew his stuff. Spent a couple weekends on my Grady-White Fisherman 236 with him teaching me everything. His docking advice was a game changer, taught me to go slow, how to use spring lines, only go as fast as you’re willing to hit something. Honestly that tip alone made me way less nervous about docking. Still think about his advice every time I pull up to a dock now, huge confidence boost. Highly recommend!

Captain Tony was a fantastic experience – outstanding instructor who kept it fun and chill the whole time. Super friendly and knowledgeable, would highly recommend. I was nervous going into it because I had problems docking in tight quarters in my Sea Ray. Totally changed my confidence with tight marina spots, not stressed about it anymore.

Captain Rob was amazing, can’t recommend enough. I wanted to learn how to actually drive our boat so my husband could take a break or have a drink without us having to cut the day short. Was pretty nervous at first especially about running Haulover Inlet but Rob was so patient and kept everything calm. He showed me how to read the wind and water, time the waves, and handle the boat with confidence. Now I can get us home no problem even through Haulover which feels incredible honestly. My husband can finally relax on the boat and I don’t feel helpless anymore.
