Ready to level up your boating skills? Our Guided Boat Handling Lessons are just the ticket. Whether you're a newbie skipper or looking to polish your docking finesse, we've got you covered. Our seasoned pro captains come right to your boat, anywhere you are, to give you personalized coaching that'll boost your confidence at the helm in no time.

What's in Store

Picture this: You're at the wheel of your own vessel, with a licensed captain right by your side, walking you through the finer points of boat handling. We're talking one-on-one instruction tailored to your needs, whether you're piloting a zippy 17-footer or commanding a 70-foot yacht. From tricky docking maneuvers to mastering your boat's electronics, we'll cover it all. And the best part? You're learning on your own boat, in familiar waters, so you can apply these skills right away.

Nuts and Bolts of Boat Handling

Let's break it down. We'll start with the basics if you're new to boating, or dive right into advanced techniques if you're looking to up your game. Expect to get hands-on practice with docking in different conditions - because let's face it, that's where the rubber meets the road in boating. We'll walk you through reading the wind and current, positioning your approach, and using your throttle and steering for those picture-perfect tie-ups. Got a joystick control? We'll show you how to finesse that too. And don't worry, we're well-versed in all the major propulsion systems, from outboards to pod drives.

Tech Talk

Nowadays, boats come packed with more gadgets than the Starship Enterprise. Our instructors know their way around marine electronics like the back of their hand. We'll demystify those multifunction displays, help you set up your chartplotter for easy navigation, and show you how to get the most out of your fish finder (even if you're not fishing). By the time we're done, you'll be working that helm like a pro, with all your systems humming in harmony.

Why Boaters Love Our Lessons

There's nothing quite like the feeling of confidently maneuvering your boat into a tight slip or navigating a tricky channel. Our customers rave about the boost in skills and confidence they get from our lessons. Whether it's nailing that first solo docking or finally understanding how to read marine weather on their chart plotter, the pride is real. And let's not forget the peace of mind that comes with knowing you can handle your boat safely in various conditions.

Customized to Your Needs

Every boater and every boat is different, and that's why we tailor our lessons to fit you like a glove. Got a new boat and need an orientation? We've got you. Struggle with backing into your slip? We'll drill that until you can do it with your eyes closed (but don't actually close your eyes, okay?). Want to learn how to anchor properly for an overnight stay? We'll cover that too. Our goal is to make you feel like the captain you were meant to be, no matter what type of boating you're into.

Safety First, Always

Sure, handling your boat like a boss is cool, but knowing how to do it safely is even cooler. We put a big emphasis on safety procedures during our lessons. You'll learn how to do proper pre-departure checks, understand the "rules of the road" on the water, and know what to do in case of emergencies. We'll also cover the importance of life jackets, fire extinguishers, and other safety equipment. By the end of our time together, you'll not only be a better boater, but a safer one too.

The Right Instructor Makes All the Difference

Our instructors aren't just any old salts - they're licensed delivery captains with years of experience handling all sorts of vessels. They've seen it all, from calm seas to choppy waters, and they know how to pass on that knowledge in a way that sticks. Plus, they're patient and understanding. No question is too basic, and they'll explain things as many times as you need. They're not there to show off; they're there to help you become the best boater you can be.

Flexibility is Our Middle Name

One of the best things about our service? We come to you. No need to trailer your boat to some unfamiliar marina or try to learn new skills in strange waters. We'll meet you right where your boat is, whether that's at your local marina, your private dock, or even out on the water. And since we charge by the hour, you can book as much or as little time as you need. Want a quick refresher before a big trip? We can do that. Looking for a full day of intensive training? We're game for that too.

Beyond Just Driving

While boat handling is our main focus, we're happy to cover other aspects of boating too. Want to learn about basic engine maintenance? We can go over that. Curious about how to properly clean and care for your boat? We've got tips for that. Interested in understanding more about navigation and trip planning? We'll gladly share our knowledge. Our goal is to make you a well-rounded, confident boater who can handle any situation that comes your way on the water.
