Description

Specialties

I coach sailboat owners on their own boats to give them confidence to sail in the San Francisco Bay or offshore. A first session begins with a careful inspection of the vessel. Thereafter we formulate a list of what needs to be repaired, modified or purchased to insure a safe vessel. We set goals for future use of the vessel and determine what the crew and vessel needs to achieve those goals. I also deliver sailboats up to 50 Tons to or from local and international destinations.

History

Established in 2007.

Since 2007 I have coach sailboat owners on San Francisco bay. I sometime sail with them up or down the California coast to train them in the cruising life style. I also deliver sailboats within the United States and internationally.

Meet the Business Owner

Marc G.

Business Owner

n 1978 I completed a degree of Merchant Marine Engineer in «Ecole de la Marine Marchande,» Saint Malo, France. Two years later at 25 I became yacht captain in the sailboat charter industry in the Greek Islands. Over the next three charter seasons I skippered sailboats from 35 to 50 ft. During the summer of 1984 I delivered a Dufour 12 000, 40ft ketch from Rhodes, Greece to Pensacola, Florida thereafter settling in the USA. From 1989 to 1994 I built a 33ft Roger Simpson designed catamaran. In 1996, 97, 98 with my wife and two young kids, I completed three round trips to Mexico’s west coast. I sailed around the world on my catamaran Imani with my family, west bound, via Suez and Panama Canals from 1999 to 2004. In 2007 I established my Sailing Coach/​Yacht Delivery business. I presently hold a 50-​ton US Coast Guard Master License.
