Welcome
Five months after we bought our first bluewater cruising boat we sailed 10,000 nautical miles across the Pacific. What was supposed to be a "seabattical" turned into a new life direction. We retrained as certified marine technicians and boat captains, and now lead sail training expeditions around the globe.

We know what it takes to start cruising quickly and safely, because we did it ourselves. If you are ready to gain the knowledge and experience it takes to reach your cruising goals safely and comfortably, we are here to help you succeed.
