Your next experienced USCG Licensed Captain
Ahoy!
I am currently a part time voyaging sailor/part time delivery captain available for work anywhere in the world. US passport and vaccinated but most importantly I am flexible.
I consider myself to have a well rounded sailing repertoire molded from a wide variety of experience that has taken me over 20,000 miles across some of the most beautiful yet challenging bodies of water from New Zealand to Alaska, the Puget Sound, US Atlantic coast and over 10,000 miles of delivery and cruising miles along the rugged and unforgiving pacific coast of the US.

I love teaching people about anything nautical and I love to learn even more.

Coy is excellent crew - 5 stars
I met Coy via Crew Bay a year ago. Since then, Coy has crewed on my boat for 2 Northwest Pacific offshore passages of about 500 nautical miles each (one triple handed, the other double handed with me). He also spent a week of cruising in the San Juan Islands of Washington on my boat with myself and 2 other friends. I am fortunate he will join my crew for another passage this spring to sail from Portland Oregon to San Francisco California. Coy is a very competent hand onboard. He is nautically knowledgeable, hard working, a good problem solver, polite, and a good cook. His competent seamanship combines well with his positive attitude, interesting conversation and wit to engender respect and friendship of Captain and crew. He follows the direction/guidance of the Captain, learns quickly, has keen attention to details, and jumps to a task when necessary without needing to be asked.
