The training and evaluations with 3rd Coast (Jim Miranda) have been top notch. The performance standard for students and skippers is very high.

The learning program at 3rd Coast Cruising is second to none with the hands-on experience, positive learning environment, helpful instruction and their theory for having all students actively engaged throughout our sails.

Captain Jim Miranda was wonderful to work with. He is a great Captain that has deservingly obtained the trust of old and new crew alike. The waters off of Chicago, IL posed as great testing grounds providing traffic, wind changes, and a wonderful experience. I suggest working with Jim Miranda for any training or certifications one may be looking to accomplish.

Jim was outstanding. He was clear and straightforward about everything. He was no-nonsense and thorough in his evaluations, while maintaining a relaxed demeanor that kept all on board comfortable and enjoying the experience.

Captain Miranda is a consumate professional. He assesses firmly and hands out knowledge like candy in a Halloween parade. His teaching methods vary by the student but in the end he makes sure all are capable of passing these rigorous assessments when it is time.
