Level V Captain Rank Chief Sailing Instructor / Assessor

I’m Roi, and the sea has been my home since I was six years old. 
In the last 35 years have sailed yachts & dinghies from offshore passages to daily charters and everything in between. The ocean shaped me, trained me, and built the instructor I am today.

 I’ve crossed the Atlantic, led flotillas across the Med, and now live full-time aboard with my family, cruising the Bahamas, U.S. East Coast, and the Caribbean. Every mile under my keel becomes part of what I teach.

 My foundation is rock-solid: After 3 years of service as an XO on fast patrol boats in the Israeli Navy I Gained B.Sc. in Marine Science, and M.A. in Nautical History and Seamanship. I hold multiple professional certifications including Master of Yachts (200t) Commercial Skipper, Divemaster, High school teacher and advanced dinghy sailing coach. with over 25 years of experience working as a Sailing instructor, i’ve trained sailors of every level and taught both monohulls and catamarans
