Your Trusted Captain on the Southern California Coast
Professional maritime services for boat owners, buyers, and insurers across Ventura County, Santa Barbara County, and Southern California.
What I Do
Expert Captain Services
From your first lesson to your next offshore passage, I bring the experience and credentials to get the job done right.
Private Instruction
One-on-one sailing and powerboat instruction tailored entirely to you — your boat, your schedule, your goals. Whether you're just getting started or ready to tackle offshore passages, I'll build your skills and confidence where it counts most: on the water.
Boat Deliveries
Need your vessel moved up or down the California coast? I provide professional, fully insured deliveries with thorough pre-departure checks, careful seamanship, and clear communication throughout. I treat every boat like my own.
Insurance Certification
Many insurers require a certified sea trial and competency assessment before issuing or renewing a policy. I deliver thorough evaluations accepted by major marine underwriters — with detailed documentation and fast turnaround.
Sea Trials
A professional sea trial is one of the smartest investments you can make before buying or selling a boat. I evaluate engines, rigging, systems, and handling so you can negotiate and decide with complete confidence — no surprises.
Vessel Captaining
Own a boat but prefer to leave the helm to a professional? I'm available to captain your vessel full-time or on an as-needed basis — weekend outings, coastal cruises, or regular seasonal trips. You relax and enjoy the ride while I handle navigation, docking, and everything in between.
Vessel Management
Your boat needs attention even when you're not aboard. I provide regular inspections, maintenance coordination, and readiness checks so your investment stays protected and your vessel is always ready to go when you are.
