Kristel Zweers

Private Instructor - Trogir, Split-Dalmacija, Croatia (Hrvatska)
Rated 4.6/5 by 1 student
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 ;-)

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.
