“Creating better boaters one at a time”
3 ways to describe the Captains Coaching program
- Utmost Patience
- Calm but proactive training demeanor
- Confident approach (You can do it)
The Captain’s Coach was founded with the boater in mind. We are boaters, captains, fisherman, divers, and sandbar enthusiasts. We understand you which is why our services are designed to help boat owners across the country. We were tired of standing on the sidelines watching frustrated, unsafe boaters at the boat ramp, the dock, and the sandbar continually struggle. Our experienced, patient, and well-trained captains help you successfully learn how to manage these situations. Our goal is to make you a pro, a perfectionist in every situation you encounter. No more second guessing. No more drama. No more frustration. Just a relaxing fun-filled day on the water which is the main reason you bought a boat to begin with. We can help you become the boater you want to be. Whether this is your first 20ft center console or 75ft yacht we will make you the best. The only question now is, are you ready to learn invaluable, lifelong boating skills that will ensure you’ll have a more enjoyable time on the water?

Highly recommend Captain Will. We are new boat owners and we are so happy to have hired Captain Will to show us things we never thought we could learn without practicing for months and months. Not only did we learn them but he taught us in less than 4 hours. He even took the time to walk us through some pretty important mechanics of our boat, showed us some tricks of our gps system and got us docking our boat in no time. Even backing it in and almost “parallel parking” it. Such a great experience and a great Captain. We learned so much today and happy to know that we are gaining the skills to be more confident and knowledgeable on the water. Thank you Captain Will. Look forward to next time in just a few weeks.

I can not tell you how much fun I had today with Captain Will on top of learning how and practicing how to dock, anchor and stern steering with manipulating the bow. Capt. Will is calm and direct with his helping cues. Hearing "do not over think this" let me know I got it, now do it. I think any one who is still a little " stressed " coming home to get back on the lift, would be happy with the results from a session with him. I know you will learn something new that will make boating much easier ‼️ Thank you, Capt. Will for all your help and a great day❣.

Will is a great instructor who will help improve your skills whether you are a new boater, experienced boater, or someone who has some skills but is new to Florida conditions. He is patient, smart, an amazing person to work with, and you will enjoy your time with him. His calm and pleasant teaching manner will push you to learn, gain confidence, and improve your skills. I highly recommend him for his experience and knowledge.

Captain Will turned me into a boater. I had zero experience but after several lessons, I feel comfortable taking out my first boat on the water. Captain Will is knowledgeable and patient. He will make sure that you feel comfortable in as many scenarios as possible. I highly recommend him for any level of boater.

The Captain’s Coach has been a great resource for my husband and I. He was very patient with us during our 4hr class. His overall knowledge was well worth the money and he immediately impacted our ability to drive the boat. Definitely recommend the lessons!

Capt. Will is a fantastic teacher. His docking instruction is very helpful. He is calm and informative when teaching new boaters how to dock their boat. He has taught several of our members in our marina in Tierra Verde. Definitely worth the booking!!!
