I was very pleased with Captain Reese. He is awesome, very knowledgeable, kind and teaches with every detail.

I learned a lot in 2 hours from him. I do suggest everyone but especially the ones like me who are really beginners.

Thank you so much for connecting me with him.

Thank you so much for providing this service with excellent Captain 🙏🏻

I will definitely need additional lessons when I come back to Florida another time and I will reach you out again.
