What Our Customers Are Saying

Mike C. (Assistance Towing)

THE ONLINE COURSE WAS WELL LAID OUT AND THE MATERAIL WAS WELL PRESENTED.

Mike C.- Assistance Towing

Steven G. (Instructor Led Master 100)

Course took longer than originally stated which made it hard to retain all the information over a 9–10-week period. If test could be taken at the end of each section or halfway thru that would be better to help focus on the following courses. John was an amazing teacher; he has a great personality and really helps get through the course and gives you some good laughs along the way. He knows his stuff when it comes to all areas of boating and he is a guy I think I could hang out with on the back of a boat for hours. All around a greet person and perfect fit for the program.

I think the course was well organized. The information on how to do the course was simple to follow and the videos and reading made everything easy to understand. I would recommend this course to other people looking to upgrade/take their captains license.

Mike C. (OUPV 6 Pack)

THOUGHT THE ON LINE CLASS WAS ORGANIZED IN CLEAR PERCISE METHOD FOR LEARNING , THOUGHT THE SUBJECT MATTER WAS EXPLAINED, DISCUSSED AND TAUGHT IN VERY CLEAR AND UNDERSTDING WAY TO LEARN. I BELIEVE THE YOU TUBE CHANNEL WITH COURSE LECTURES IN THE SUBJECCTS OF RULES OF THE ROAD, CHART, AND GENERAL NAV WAS EXCELLANT AND REALLY CATERED TO BEST WAY FOR ME TO LEARN LAYING IT OUT ON WHITE BOARD AND DISCUSSING, AS FOR THE CHART VIDEOS THOUGHT IT WAS EXCELLANT HOW THERE WAS A BRIFE OVERVIEW OF THE PROCESS THEN FOLLOWED BY DETAILED WORKING OF THE PROBLEM STEP BY STEP FOR GREATED LEARNING EXPERIENCE. AND THE VIDEO POINTING OUT THE KEY LOCATIONS ON THE CHART THAT WILL BE USED WAS GREAT HELP TO LEARNING CHART WHEN FIRST STARTED

Brody M. (Master 100 Instructor Led Experience)

If there was ever a misunderstanding, Captain John always helped clarify it by relating the material to real-life situations. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to obtain their captain’s license, especially with Captain John as the instructor.
