Notes: The boat I am working on primarily is located in Jersey City - an easy ferry ride from Battery Park City, NYC or by Path train.
In the event you can provide a vessel for the assessment/class/training I am happy to accommodate and travel, as long as it is within a reasonable commute distance and time (up to 30 miles from Jersey City/up to an hour commute by public transportation). Alternatively - I will require coverage of my travel expenses and arrangements as needed.

Feedback from previous students
It was a pleasure working along with Nitzan, she is truly an asset to your company. Her in-depth knowledge and experience was exceptional.
I cannot recommend Nitzan highly enough. She is one of the best teachers I have had on any level. She is very professional and safety minded while also fully aware that sailing is supposed to be fun. Whether for basic sailing or more advanced instruction, a day on the water with Nitzan will leave you more confident in your ability and ready to tackle your next sailing adventure.
Captain levy was professional , knowledgeable in all areas and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend her to anyone.
I had a great experience and learn a lot.
Captain Levy joined me for an on-the-water assessment in connection with my SLC in advance of a Mediterranean sailing vacation. She made the process very straightforward, and it was a pleasure to spend the day with her on the water. Both those just learning and experienced sailors will benefit from her diverse experience on the water and enjoy swapping stories of racing and cruising in far-flung destinations.
Nitzan was great! Very professional and very organized.
Nitzan Levy is an exceptional teacher with an incomparable passion for sailing and empowering others to learn and succeed. I would highly recommend her to anyone desiring to deepen their knowledge and skills, whether they were a novice or someone with years of experience. Nitzan is the best!
She is a patient and caring instructor and is definitely my 1st choice for continuing education!
Thank you Nitzan
I couldn’t have made this accomplishment without the leadership of Capt. Nitzan Levy!
