I am a merchant mariner with a lifetime of over 50 years sailing experience, and who has circumnavigated the oceans twice. I am certified with a 200-ton RYA offshore qualification, Master Captain100 ton US, and STCW95 (USCG – safety and watch keeping at sea – CPR, first aid, firefighting, survival at sea, risk management assessment, social responsibility). I have also taught sailing techniques to US Naval Reserve personnel as well as private sailing lessons for many years.

I have first-hand knowledge of ports and waters from the US Atlantic seaboard through the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean, and South America, as well as through the Panama Canal to the US Pacific Coast. I have sailed the Pacific as well as multiple transatlantic runs to various ports in Europe.

I have operated both powerboats and sailing vessels in sizes from 27 feet to 235 feet.

I will personally care for your boat, keep you informed throughout the delivery, and deliver it safely and in great condition.
