Level V Bareboat Charter Master Rank Chief Sailing Instructor / Assessor

Rated 4.96/5 by 5 students
Why am I a sailing instructor? Easy, because it’s the best job you could ever have in a life time! Having a good time with nice people on a sail boat, for me, it’s really hard to beat! Sailing has always been in my soul. I had the chance to start sailing 23 years ago and managed a day charter catamaran business in the Caribbean’s for many years. Since, I’ve been organizing charters and also managed a sailing school. Now I'm back to what I like the most, being on the water and spending a good time with my guests. I give my classes in French, English and ready to try in Spanish also!
