Additional information
| Instruction | I offer instruction for boaters at all stages. Classroom instruction to help you pass your maritime exams (charting, navigation, rules of the road, etc) or vessel operation instruction (docking, close quarters, sail planning). |
|---|---|
| Delivery | I hold a 200 ton near coastal masters license and a 500 ton inland license. I'm familiar with many harbors along the Pacific Coast. My capstone delivery experience was delivering a 200 ton Historic Army ship from Port Townsend to Sacramento. Coastal Delivery rates vary depending on vessel characteristics, time on water, and crew needs. Contact me and we can figure it out. |
| Charter Captain | San Francisco Bay has been my home for over 20 years and I've spent a vast majority of each week on the water during that time. I have an extensive local knowledge of San Francisco Bay. |
