About Patrick
Boat owner and skipper of the Prestige 390S
Theory is good – real practice is better.
Many people quickly obtain their boating license – and the dream of their own yacht charter comes within reach. But once on board, it becomes clear: the license mainly teaches theory. What’s missing is the confidence to steer a 10–12 meter motorboat with twin engines – especially when docking, undocking, or maneuvering alone.
That’s exactly where my personal skipper training comes in.
I’ll guide you step by step through all the relevant maneuvers and teach you how to handle a yacht of this size in a clear, hands-on, and calm manner. Whether it’s harbor maneuvers, anchoring, or safely handling the technology – you’ll gain not only skills but also real confidence in your abilities.
From my own experience, I know: skipper training is a real gamechanger for anyone new on board or with initial charter experience. More safety, more fun – and above all, more freedom on the water.
