Experience You Can Trust,

Instruction You’ll Remember.

Whether you’re preparing for your first bareboat charter, a race series, or a long-distance voyage, I’ll help you get there with skill, confidence, and a deeper love for sailing—right here in San Diego or wherever your course takes you.

I’m a USCG OUPV–licensed charter captain with a Sailing Endorsement, sailing coach, and instructor based in San Diego, California. I have years of experience teaching in premier programs, including J/World Performance Sailing, and I work with sailors throughout Southern California. My approach blends professional seamanship with an easygoing style, making the learning process both practical and enjoyable.

  • Instruction for individuals, crews, and corporate teams

  • Flexible scheduling for day sails, multi-day trips, and offshore passages
