Drawn by the allure of sailing in new places - discovering and exploring new locales by boat, sharing those experiences with my friends and shipmates.

Looking to expand my knowledge, skills and experience to eventually cruise in the Northeast and Caribbean. Willing and able to share all the operations of vessel for a safe, fun and enjoyable voyage. Sails with a Smile!

Sailing experience includes Sunfish, Flying Scot & J/24 among others. Currently I own a 32’ Hunter sailboat which I sail in my local waters (Barnegat Bay, Raritan Bay and beyond). Much of which is single handed.

I hold an USCG Master (inland) license with OUVP (100 miles offshore), sailing and towing endorsements, NJ State Police Safe Boating Instructor & a National Safe Boating Council (NSBC) Boating Instructor.

Also, I’m an ASA sailing instructor (ASA 101 / 103 / 104 / 105 / 114) in locations in NJ and the Caribbean.

In addition, I'm a charter captain working in various location in NJ.

10,000+ NM Offshore sailing experience.

While I have acquired skills and knowledge that enable me to be a safe and competent skipper or crew aboard a sailboat cruising by day, I recognize that my training as a sailor never ends - there is always more to learn. I want to gain additional knowledge, skills and experience by spending more time on the water. Also, it would be invaluable learn from more experienced sailor.
