Maximizing your time on the water

Boat Work

Let's work together to get your boat straight.  Maintenance, repairs, or new installations: we can make your vessel safer, more comfortable, and easier to manage.

Boat Coaching

I can help you be a more confident boater.  From understanding your boat's systems, to safe maneuvering in the harbor, to open water seamanship, I can help smooth out your learning curve.

Anchor Watch

Sometimes you just need a trusted soul to check on your boat while you're away.  With a phone call (or on an established schedule), I can get to your boat and perform a comprehensive safety and systems check.  I know what to look for and I can handle any situation I find.

Boat management

Whatever your plans and goals for your boat, I can be your partner in seeing them through.  From boat delivery to haul outs, outfitting to sub-contracting, My experience can be your resource.  You don't have to do everything yourself.

About

I have a deep love for the ocean and the magic carpets that carry us across them.   Since my formal training as an ABYC Certified Master Technician and Professional USCG Licensed Captain, I have been a boat owner, charter captain, delivery captain, boatyard technician, and sailing instructor on 2 coasts and in the Caribbean.  I now live with my family near Poulsbo, Washington, where I keep my own magic carpet 'Windraven'. 


I genuinely enjoy working with boat owners; helping them learn more and enjoy better. 


If you think there's a way I could be a resource to you, please reach out.  I'm always happy to hear from another boater.
