My husband and I completed the week-long 101,103,104 certification. Captain Jenn was a wonderful teacher, and terrific captain and cook. The trip highlighted beautiful areas of the Florida Keys. We are honored to have met her and taken the course.

We had a great time and learned a lot as well. Jen is gifted at teaching the materiel and making it fun. Lots of hands on sailing and some fishing, swimming and kayaking too. We highly recommend the class and plan to take another in the future.
