“Matt and I are so thrilled with our experience so far! We had no idea what to expect but you made the process so easy and so much fun. I liked being out on the water before, but now I am absolutely IN LOVE with it! Your teaching, guidance, and patience with us on our first two days learning to sail will never be forgotten. Thank you so much and we hope to have you as our instructor at our next course!”

“Thank you so much for including me in the Basic Cruising course with Rob. He is a great instructor, and I learned a lot.  His attitude is laid-back. He instills a love of sailing in his students. He builds students confidence and does not tear students down. How wonderful to have someone who really loves to teach!

I now have a US Sailing Basic Cruising certification to go along with my two ASA certifications (their equivalent of keel and basic cruising), and my US Sailing Power and US Sailing Bareboat certification.

He is very experienced both as a sailor and as an instructor. Please give Rob all the classes he can handle!”
