'Chris helped me from the very start of of my boating journey. From relocating the boat from IOW to Haslar and then a steady flow of instructional days aboard my own boat, Chris was excellent in all departments.
Very knowledgable, tailored the eduction and learning to my pace and desired outcomes for me and my family, helped me get to grips with the boat and understand her intricacies, helped to build my confidence and start me off on my own boating journey.
A great guy to work with and have aboard. I'm looking forward to learning and developing with Chris over the coming months and taking my boating knowledge to the next level.
Would highly recommend Chris for any boating projects you may need.'
