bringing you SAFER, more CONFIDENT, and more ENJOYABLE time on water
I am a sailing instructor with over 9 years of full-time teaching experience spanning most of Europe, and the West Coast of Canada.
I also offer connected experiences like adventure sails & experience builders.
Through Yacht Master Class, I would like to share with you my passion for sailing by teaching best practices to give you a safer, more confident, and more enjoyable time on the water!
Yacht Master Class now also offers official sailing licencing through IYT programmes, including the ICC (International Certificate of Competence) and International Bareboat Skipper.
Please note that Yacht Master Class is not a traditional sailing school or an RTC, and I only offer bespoke own-boat private training.
