Passionate sailor and experienced instructor at your service! I discovered the thrill of sailing at 14, at Boy Scout camp. Mastering Small Boat Sailing, I returned the next summer to teach sailing, and I acquired my first boat, a used El Toro, from that camp, and a few years later a Hobie 16. Many years later, I bought my first boat with a cabin below; a 28' Columbia. I embraced the journey, learning through experiences like my first multi-day open-ocean trip in that boat from Long Beach to San Diego. After a couple of years, I purchased a very fast 24’ Seawind Catamaran. I delivered it to San Diego from Newport Beach before realizing my true passion lies in the joy of cruising, not racing. This insight led me to a 42' Hunter and eventually a 46' Hunter. Sailing vessels are my love, and I enjoy sharing that love with others. I promise to treat each vessel and student with the utmost care and love. Let my passion elevate your sailing experience.

Captain J's father was a lobster fisherman. Even while fulfilling his mother's ambitions, that he become an architect, Captain J always kept a toe in the water. As the years passed Captain J's foot kept getting wetter. After finding a like-minded First Mate, Captain J sold the house, and moved to a sailboat, where the couple raised two children while island hopping the Caribbean. At the children's request "we want to be normal", we returned to civilization (a misnomer).

Teaching, coaching, and instructing others to grow in their knowledge, skill, and experience has been a decades-long passion of mine. Helping others to perform skills that at first seem daunting or scary, but with repetition and fine-tuning turn into “I really can do this!” or even “I’m good at this!” brings me great life satisfaction. I am teacher/instructor at heart, and bring multi-disciplinary experience into my sailing instruction. Serving as a professional high-performance driving instructor for the Porsche Experience Center plus my 20 years’ experience teaching and authoring national articles on off-road competition motorcycle skills, combined with being a NauticEd Course Author and Editorial Contributor, I feel comfortable teaching any adult student, male or female, especially in situations that feel like near a student's limits.

Private Instructor - Annapolis, MD, USA
In 2015, I sailed for the first time about a 38ft cruising catamaran as crew in the British Virgin Islands. I later took the US Sailing Basic Keelboat course on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, CA. I became heavily involved in amateur racing on small boats and cruising on monohulls and catamarans up to 45ft. In 2022 the Marine Corps moved me to the DC Metro area for service at the Pentagon. That summer, I became an instructor with DC Sail, where I coached US Sailing Smallboat on Flying Scots and racing Flying Juniors. In summer 2024, I started coaching Basic Keelboat at JWorld in Annapolis, MD. Later in 2024, I signed on with NauticEd as an instructor. As a Marine, I learned to love the joy of teaching and training others. Coaching allows me to combine the joy of teaching others with my passion for sailing. I love watching new students learn to operate a sailboat safely and effectively while they pursue their interest or dream of sailing.

Valerio Marra

Private Instructor - Boston, MA, USA
Rated 5/5 by 1 student
Since I started sailing, my mission has been to demystify sailboat design: understanding how they work, how their design affects their function, and how to sail them faster. I love teaching performance sailing to intermediate/advanced sailors who still wonder, "How does that control line do what it does?" My goal is sailing well, with speed, balance, and safety. I designed and delivered "The Physics of Yacht Design" seminar series, covering the most important aspects of yacht design at an accessible level. It requires only high-school math and physics knowledge, yet it is detailed enough to interest both beginner and experienced sailors. My favorite sailboat is the J/80, and I volunteer as a skipper for adaptive sailing programs whenever possible. I hold a PhD in fluid machines and energy systems engineering, as well as an MSc in nuclear engineering, specializing in numerical methods for computational fluid dynamics.

David Carey

Private Instructor - Erie, PA, USA
I want to share my love of sailing. My first mate (my wife) and I fell in love with sailing after seeing a family enjoy a Hobie Cat at the beach almost 20 years ago. After that we began learning on increasing size boats over the years (including that very Hobie Cat) and now teach on our Ericson 32. I find that sailing is different things for people. For my wife it is the peace and calm of the open air and water. I feel the same but also the mental engagement needed to always be evaluating the wind and course. Come join us and find your passion for sailing!

Rated 4.76/5 by 45 students
I grew up on a small estuary in South Carolina. I began kayaking at the age of 4, first Jon boat at 6, and continued up to a 30ft offshore powerboat at 14. My love for the ocean compelled me to achieve a degree in Marine Biology (I'm the definition of a shark nut). After graduating I decided to move to the northwest to get a taste of the Pacific Ocean and got sucked into sailing - where I managed sailing schools and clubs in Seattle, Olympia, and Gig Harbor Washington. I love instructing - nothing compares to that little smirk everyone gets when we first heel over, and it just gets better from there!

Kristel Zweers

Private Instructor - Trogir, Split-Dalmacija, Croatia (Hrvatska)
I'm a pretty no-nonsense - straight forward person who dares to live out her dream and take on adventures. Nothing makes me happier than sharing my passion for sailing with an (unexperienced) crew. I've been leading flotilla's of up to 11 yachts in the passed 5 years on my own. Creating itineraries for up to 65 people ( kids&adults) to enjoy a sailing holiday they''ll never forget. Turning unexperienced sailors into competent crew and boosting confidence and skills of beginners to level them up to becoming a skipper is what I love doing the most. I belong at sea and my own confidence and 'feeling at home on a yacht' seems to wear off on whoever steps on board with me. I'm looking forward to being your next instructor and conquer this new world with you ;-)

Warren Brown

Private Instructor - Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand
I have been sailing since 1996. First as crew then as skipper when I launched my own 38ft catamaran in 2008. I have been sailing the beautiful Hauraki Gulf and beyond since then and the more I see and discover, the more I am impressed with our beautiful country. I am passionate about sailing and the environment. In 2019, I passed my commercial skipper's ticket (srl24). I take great joy in showcasing the gulf and watching my students grow in confidence as they learn the pleasure of sailing. Come and join me for an amazing adventure.

David Hall

Private Instructor - Tarragona, Catalunya, Spain
Rated 5/5 by 1 student
With a calm and confident approach to teaching sailing, I'm a firm believer of the ethos of "competence before certification". Previous students that started their sailing journeys with me have gone on to lead successful lives working professionally within the industry as fully qualified skippers and crew. For some other students, it was more about instilling confidence so that they felt in a positive place to charter a boat with their family onboard. Let's build you a strong foundation of skills, from which you can confidently build experience in the wonderful world of sailing.
