Get Personalized Help With the Sailing Skills That Matter Most

Sometimes you don't need another course—you need someone to walk through a specific sailing skill with you, answer your questions, and help connect the dots.

Private Virtual Sailing Coaching gives you one-on-one access to an experienced sailing instructor from the comfort of your home. Whether you're preparing for a certification, planning a charter, working through an online course, or simply trying to better understand a sailing concept, these sessions are tailored to your goals and experience level.

Sessions are typically held via Google Meet, but phone sessions are also available when appropriate.

What To Expect

Before your session, you'll tell me what you'd like to work on. You can bring questions, course materials, charts, itineraries, calculations, or real-world scenarios.

During the session we'll work through the topic together, focusing on understanding—not just finding the answer.

My goal is to help you build confidence, improve decision-making, and leave with practical knowledge you can apply on the water.
