On the Water Training
Onboard Instruction Services
The On The Water Training offers a personalized ‘school of seamanship’ whose staff will travel to you– so you receive private instruction aboard your boat in your waters.
There are plenty of schools you can attend to receive basic boat training. We offer a much more personalized approach to a School of Seamanship.
Whether you are novice or advanced (even the best pros have a coach), our team of dedicated professionals help you close learning gaps.
We offer a wide variety of boat handling training topics. Here are some client needs we cover:
Docking your vessel
It’s true, docking is the most stressful part of operating a boat for most people. Spend a couple days with Capt. Cusumano to learn tips that few recreational boaters know – even after a lifetime of experience.
The New Boat Owner
Want to buy a boat and retire but don’t have the boating experience? Capt. Phil will work with you and your insurance company (if necessary) to enable you & your mate to comfortably accomplish your goals.
Skills /Confidencce
Learn what you need to know about boat handling on your own boat while building your skill set. Our private lessons are designed to give you and your crew the knowledge to build confidence quickly.
The First Mate
The spouse/first mate of an avid boater needs to know what to do if the captain becomes incapacitated. When fully trained, both participants have more fun as boating partners, not just skipper/mate.
Additional Instruction
Safe Boat Handling
Docking On-the-Water
Techniques for “docking” are demonstrated hands on which including springlines, backing into a berth, back and fill, and wind/current management strategies. All done on your own boat so that you will have a practical understanding of your boat at your marina or boat ramp.
Twins & Singles
Learn tips and tricks for successfully handling single and twin screws in a variety of docking situations, along with the proper use of springlines and thrusters.
