The dream of owning a sailboat and exploring distant horizons is exhilarating. But the reality of your first long passage can be daunting. Questions swirl: Can I handle the open water? Am I prepared for unexpected challenges? Will I succeed with my first long passage with my new sailboat?
I understand the mix of excitement and apprehension. You’ve got the dream, but the reality of the open water can feel overwhelming.
I’m Simon, and I offer more than just a boat delivery service; I provide mentored passage assistance. I’ll be right there with you, transforming your fear into confidence.

Together, we’ll navigate the challenges, turning your maiden voyage into a rewarding learning experience.
I will help you reinforce essential skills like passage planning, navigation, and boat systems while mentoring your hands-on experience in real-world conditions. I aim to equip you with the knowledge and confidence to tackle future adventures.
You’ll arrive at your destination not just with your boat but with stronger skills to cruise confidently.
My experience comes from over 10+ years and 45,000 nautical miles of full-time cruising the Mediterranean, Atlantic, and Caribbean, facing diverse conditions and diving deep into the intricacies of sailing. In addition to living as a full-time sailing cruiser with my wife and daughter, I’ve gone on to teach hundreds of students how to live the sailing life. If you want a week-long Sailing Lifestyle Experience on a 50′ Catamaran in the Caribbean or to view the feedback from past guests, please visit this page!
