Instructor in Hackettstown, New Jersey, USA

Rated 5/5 by 1 student

Level V Captain Rank Qualified Sailing Instructor / Assessor

I have been single handed sailing since 7yrs old. I have done a lot of boating along the path, and in many countries. In 2023 we bought a 42ft catamaran in Spain and sailed it to the Caribbean. Now, we live on it six months per year. We run group sailing trips and lessons a few times each year with 5 to 45 people. Some to Europe, but most to the Caribbean.

Paul is an outstanding instructor with deep knowledge based on his long sailing experience. I have sailed with Paul many times on monohulls and catamarans.
