Testimonials

From Armando Tundidor, sailing student in the BVI, March 2004:

We did awesome in our first charter of a 47' Beneteau through the Moorings, thanks to Captain Bob and Connie. We had a blast. We are so glad we did our certification with you guys, it really made the difference in our confidence and ability. We really want to do another trip with you.

From Gail Wasson, guest on a Beneteau 51, San Juan Islands, WA in September 2004:

You were a great Captain and a super person to have aboard with us crazies, a great addition to our fun. Hope you and Connie will come and stay with us in Martha’s Vinyard very soon.

From Mark Finch, Owner of Ship Harbor Yacht Charters, Anacortes, WA:

Bob is clearly one of our best Captains. His guests always return enthusiastic about their trips and ready to go again. With his mechanical knowledge and can-do attitude, the boats always come back in top condition. Bob is truly a professional.
