Captain Mike is the perfect sailing instructor. He covers a lot of information while making it easily digestible, interesting, and practical. I walked away feeling so much more confident in my sailing abilities and excited to crew my own boat.

We spent a week with Mike learning to sail a catamaran. It was both an amazing vacation and a great learning experience. He's an excellent instructor. We now want to circumnavigate one day.

Mike is a skilled and patient teacher who is also a genuine pleasure to spend time with. I highly recommend him for the great coaching you will receive as well as the friendship you will surely enjoy long after you disembark.

Tracy Sarich

Captain Mike is the absolute BEST! His extensive knowledge and teaching style well exceeded my expectations. His thorough hands-on instruction made the sailing certification process a unique and amazing experience — I can't wait to learn more from this guy!

Bree Kemp

The journey does not get any better than this! Captain Mike ran a tight ship with a relaxed atmosphere — super knowledgeable about all aspects of sailing and everyone was safe. Everybody had a great time and learned a lot!

Dwight Schubert

I did a 7-day cruise and learn with Mike and it was the best and only way I'd ever choose to get my sailing certification. Left feeling confident to rent our first boat on our own. Mike is a lasting resource to help plan trips in the future.
