My boating experience spans decades and includes operating every imaginable type of pleasure craft from twin engine sport fishers and sailing catamarans to various commercial; rescue, tow and oil response vessels. Systems have included everything from joy sticks and thrusters to old-school trawlers and sailboats with a just a single engine and a rudder.

I’ve traveled up and down the east and west coasts of the U.S.A, Mexico and Canada and across the Gulf Coast from the Florida Keys to Corpus Christi, throughout the Caribbean and Bahamas and across oceans.

Often, owners join me for part or the entire delivery and provides the perfect learning opportunity to share so many trade secrets learned over so many years and miles.

In addition to deliveries, I am a certified boating-sailing instructor specializing in advanced classes and private sailing charters that originate in Santa Barbara, California and sail to the challenging and remote Channel Islands for multi-day trips. I’ve sailed with thousands of students and guests on nearly 500 voyages with a clean safety and incident free record and have a loyal following of clientele.

I have the most boring track record of no accidents or injuries, ever. Knock on wood it continues, but it all comes from taking a very cautious and safety minded approach which is where my boating roots started as a full time lifeguard/ patrol boat operator while in college.
