Sailing Certification
Learn to sail with an ASA Instructor of the Year!
Captain Andy is excited to share his passion for sailing with new students, many of whom have held a lifelong curiosity about the activity.
Since there is no "one-size-fits-all" for sailing certification, Captain Andy has created an inquiry tool to help you focus your search. Visit the Learn to Sail page to set up a complimentary consultation session.
Custom/Private Lessons
Many boat owners already hold some certifications but still wish to advance their training. Andy has the flexibility to come to you so that you can learn on YOUR vessel, in YOUR marina/slip, and in YOUR cruising grounds. The best part of this arrangement is that the vessel owner sets the pace and focus for the lesson.

Insurance Evaluations
Insurance companies continue to raise their minimum requirements, especially for first-time boat owners. Many companies ask for proof of prior ownership and also require a captain to evaluate the owner to a specific rubric. Andy will help you exceed their requirements and will also send a detailed letter of recommendation to the agent.

Yacht Delivery/Repositioning
Many owners maximize their limited vacation time by taking a “one way” trip on their vessel and then hiring Andy to return it to its home slip. If he is already booked, he may be able to connect you with another captain in his network who can assist you.
If you are buying or selling your vessel, Andy can deliver it to its new home. If he is not available, he will forward your inquiry to other reputable delivery captains within his network
