Just completed my second boating lesson with Captain Tony and I am totally impressed by him.

My first lesson was all about docking & maneuvering the boat in close quarters. The second lesson was on open water … with emphasis on emergency avoidance and we even did some man-overboard drills. I have prior boating experience, but our new boat is larger and I needed guidance on docking and handling a larger boat. Captain Tony is professional, courteous and patient. He gave me tips on how to use the wind and current to my advantage while boating. We had such a good experience with Captain Tony that I decided we will sign up for a refresher course each year. I highly recommend Captain Tony for anyone looking to take their boating skills to the next level.

Captain Tony was amazing! I had never had a boat or driven a boat before and In less than three hours, I gained the confidence and skills to be able to pivot and dock with ease. He is so patient and his system of teaching was amazing.

I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their skills or learn how to operate their boat safely. I’m planning on hiring him again for open water lessons to learn how to tackle the Great South Bay.
