Dave got his start sailing tall ships in the Caribbean in 1991, and that first experience in the islands changed his life forever. Dave has never met a boat he didn’t like, though he prefers schooners and catamarans. In fact, he’s an investor in three large schooners that offer vacation cruises in the Caribbean, and frequently crews on those ships.
Dave began instructing in 2009. His favorite classes to teach include the ASA courses for Cruising Catamaran, Bareboat Chartering, and Docking – anywhere you want to learn, especially in San Francisco Bay and tropical locations overseas
Dave charters all over the world several times each year. He has sailed the Atlantic, Indian, and North and South Pacific Oceans, as well as the Seychelles, Tahiti, the Maldives, Venezuela, Central America, all over the Caribbean, Thailand, Greece and Croatia. Let’s go have fun on the water!
