Testimonials

Satisfied Customers

★★★★★

"I have spent several hundred sea miles learning from Derek as an instructional captain. His love of sailing is contagious, his instruction is detail-oriented, and he is a joy to have as an instructor. My ability to keep myself and my family safe while sailing has been exponentially amplified by Derek’s willingness to go the extra mile and teach the WHY behind the principles being taught. I always look forward to spending time and receiving instruction from him. Five stars!"

"Derek was amazing. I tend to ask a lot of questions and Derek never made me feel like I was asking too much. Captain Derek was patient, thorough, and took the time to explain everything in amazing detail. You can tell from the start Derek enjoys teaching. My entire experience with Captain Derek was not only enjoyable but very educational. I highly recommend Captain Derek to anyone looking for a professional and supportive captain. Thank you Derek!"

★★★★★

"I have been sailing for 2 years, and took both ASA and US sailing classes, and I have experienced many captains. Among them, Derek is the best for me! My goal is to sail around the world, together with my mathematics background, I like to ask many technical and practical questions, and demand rationales behind the best practices. Derek did great jobs meeting my demand. He also has great interpersonal skills, so I feel quite comfortable with him even after 4 days of Catalina island trip. So do other crew members. Highly recommend!"

"Captain Derek was an incredible instructor for our first sail to Avalon on a Beneteau 38.1. His detailed instruction has given us the confidence at sea we were looking for. Derek went above and beyond in his training, with practical tips and helpful industry knowledge, literally answering our every question (and there were many)! We would highly recommend Derek for all your sailing needs!"
