"I was pressed against an end-tie by a 25 knot afternoon wind. I remembered the
techniques I learned in class and departed comfortably- and looked very
professional in the process. I would never have even attempted this prior to
working with Peter."
- Bill Duarte

"Your teaching style is the best - start with the basics then put them right into
practice. I particularly liked your teaching models. Although I was very nervous
when I screwed up my first docking, you were able to make me relax and give me
the confidence I needed."
- Chandler Williams.

"Peter is a great teacher. One student was having a particularly difficult time.
Peter zeroed right in and figured out how to help him. Few people have the ability
to teach the way he does."
- Pam McGrath
"We bought a 50' trawler that is in a slip that is WAY TOO SMALL for the boat -we
were simply afraid to go out, which was true for the previous owner too. Two days
after your instruction, we took it out and everything went very smoothly. In fact, the
people on the dock applauded!. Thanks."
- Richard & Melinda Morrison

"I am an ASA Certified sailing instructor and trainer. I have thousands of bluewater
miles including a transatlantic crossing. Despite all this experience, I learned a
ton from Peter. He really knows his stuff and he is a great teacher. Everyone who
owns a boat should take this course"
- Dave Archer

"We recently purchased a Nordhavn 46 and took every class in the Bay Area to
prepare. This one was by far the best because the vessel is large and Capt. Peter
took the time to adapt to our needs. We highly recommend this class."  
- Deb & Lou Appeal


Past client experiences:
"Hiring Captain Peter Pisciotta  
was one of my best boating
decisions. I learned more in 5
1/2 days than I'd learned in the
previous 5 years. He made
several repairs so
Seahawk
was in better shape when we
arrived in Astoria than when
we left San Diego.  My boating
confidence is much better
when it comes to weather, bar
approaches, radar, and
navigation. Before the trip I
considered saving the money
and going alone - which would
have been a mistake! Capt.
Pisciotta is knowledgeable, a
great mentor and pleasant
company."
