Just completed my bareboat charter master practical assessment with Captain Patrick Najou. It was apparent from the get go Captain Patrick is a master of his skill set. He presented all the information in a straight forward way that was easy to grasp and retain. He provided plenty of hands on practical training both classroom and while operating the vessel. One additional benefit was how well Captain Patrick knows the British Virgin Islands. He was instrumental in helping with planning our route and what to do at each stop. With his help we were able to make it to ANEGADA, Saba Rock, Cooper Island, Norman Island, Sopers Hole, and the Baths. I would highly recommend BVI Sailing Coach and Captain Patrick to anyone interested in learning how to be competent sailer.
