My name is Jake, I recently purchased a twin diesel 35' sport fisherman. I took the "Navigation and Safety" course with Captain Russ from A Prudent Mariner with my Wife who will be my First Mate (only mate if you ask her!) as we work towards cruising up and down the South Florida Coast as well as crossing over to the Bahamas. I would highly recommend taking this course if you are considering any boating at all. There is an immense wealth of practical knowledge that Captain Russ has which you both learn through the course and as you ask questions that have proven to be invaluable. It gave my Wife and I a sense of comfort to know more of what we are doing on the boat and should be doing in general - keep in mind, I have been boating for some time. I hope Captain Russ offers more courses as my Wife and I would definitely be taking them.

My husband and I had the pleasure of taking Russ' Safety & Navigation course as we begin our journeys at sea. If you are deliberating whether this course is for you, think no further. You will learn everything a captain should know such as how to plot a course, boating safety and so much more. Learning about plotting is what sealed the deal for me. If our electronics ever fail, now we know how to regain control and navigate our way to safety. This course is a MUST. You won't regret it!

My husband and I recently returned from a 66 day sailboat journey from Sayville, NY to Tampa Bay, Florida. We spent many months preparing, studying charts and creating our float plan. Captain Westerlind’s support, guidance and expertise proved invaluable. Without question, the tools he provided helped us to be safer in our boating practice and to feel more comfortable in our own decision making. His thoughtful, no nonsense teaching style helped to handle the unexpected and gave us the confidence we needed to successfully complete our longest consecutive sail to date.
