We love hearing stories like this from our students! 😃

It’s incredibly rewarding to know that your time on the water brought back great memories and reignited your passion for sailing. That’s exactly what we hope to inspire in every course. ⛵️

We’re so glad you had a meaningful experience, Tim — and we’ll be sure to share your kind words with John. We couldn’t agree more — he’s a true asset to our instructor team.

Thank you again for the thoughtful review and for being part of the Advantage Boating community. We look forward to seeing you back at the dock soon! 👋
