Testimonials


This year we went from an 18' boat to a 27' boat. My first thought was that "a boat is a boat" and I could handle anything. I could not have been more wrong. My daughter found out about Capt'n Sue and suggested that my wife and I take lessons from her. Swallowing my male pride, I contacted her. That decision has made all the difference. Sue has a gentle, fun way of imparting her boating knowledge and experience, as well as removing all the doubts and fears I had in my boat handling ability. I highly recommend that anyone just getting into boating or moving up in boat size contact Sue and learn from a "master". This was definitely a great investment in our future boating satisfaction and enjoyment. And besides, the lessons are far less costly than the damage we could have incurred from our lack of knowledge.
