Captain Jeff Boating - Long Island

Jeff is an excellent captain and teacher for any new boat owner. Highly recommend hiring captain Jeff to learn or for him to captain your boat for a fun day. Very trustworthy and very experienced - he knows his stuff

Jeff is quite knowledgeable, personable, and dependable. You will be hard-pressed to find someone with his qualities and experience. Highly recommended.

Jeff went above and beyond to help us with out boat upgrade delivery. I would highly suggest him and his skills to anyone looking for a great captain

I originally met Jeff in August of 2020 when I was looking for a new boat. I was looking to move to a much bigger boat. Jeff happened to walk in to the sales office where we were introduced. I knew right away he was the right captain to help me learn my new boat, and most importantly how to operate it safely.

Fast forward to March, 2021. My new boat came in and I reached out to Jeff to schedule time together. We spent four days together, learning all of the boats systems. We spent hours practicing close quarter maneuvers and docking, as well as cruising the Long Island Sound. Jeff made me operate the boat in very windy conditions! He made me dock with nothing but the engines(no thrusters, no advanced tools). He made me do it by myself! This was perfect! Things will not always be smooth sailing - Jeff provided me with the confidence and knowledge to safely operate in imperfect conditions! His patience and competence invoked confidence in myself!

I highly recommend Jeff if you need additional training, a captain for a day, or a boat move! Great guy, super helpful, and a wealth of knowledge! Thanks Jeff

Jeff worked with me when I purchased my first boat - a 28’ Grady. We did a few 3-4 hour sessions and he covered everything I needed to know to responsibly enjoy my first boat. Setting dock lines, tying knots, docking, understanding ATNs, reading charts, anchoring, tight-quarter maneuvering, basic maintenance and mechanical (like how to use your battery banks), navigating Shinnecock locks, boating in poor conditions, etc. Jeff is incredibly knowledgeable, even more patient, and even more personable and easy to be around. I highly recommend him.
