We live in Hout Bay and are happy to train on your boat in Hout Bay or Cape Town. I am a fully qualified NauticEd instructor. I do not have a commercially endorsed SAMSA license and do not have a commercially licensed boat, thus I am not allowed to charge a fee for my services. I am happy to teach you out of my own passion and only ask that you carry the expenses.
Notes: I am available to travel and assist with skippering, just contact me to check availability.

Practical Competence of Skipper Rank
Holger has helped me to become more confident on sailboats and has taught me things that go beyond just sailing. I have learned valuable skills and facts about life at sea, provisioning and everyday life in close quarters. It was a very enjoyable experience and I would definitely do it again.

Practical Competence of Skipper (small keelboat) Rank
The sailing days were one of my best memories of 2023. I have gained so much knowledge about boats, rules, the environment, free-diving, sailing and life at sea. I can recommend him 100%
