Private Training
For Sail, Power & Multihull Owners & Enthusiasts
Private Training for Boat Owners, Charter Guests & Crews
A tailored learning experience for the boat, crew, and conditions that matter most to you.
Private training is designed around your real boating life — your vessel or charter plans, your crew dynamics, your confidence level and the waters you want to explore. Work at your own pace with coaching that strengthens both practical skill and Skipper’s Mindset™ decision-making.
The Skipper’s Mindset™ Lens - Go Beyond A Checklist of Skills
Everything we teach is shaped by our Skipper’s Mindset™ practical framework for building judgment, command, crew communication and calm decision-making on the water.
In private training, that means we focus not only on what to do, but how to think through changing conditions, crew dynamics, pressure, and uncertainty.
Whether you’re stepping aboard for the first time or refining your skills for a voyage offshore – Voyage Makers offers a full range of recreational boating training on sail, power and multihull.
Who Private Training Is For
Private training is a strong fit if you:
- own a boat and want more confidence handling it
- are preparing for a bareboat charter
- want coaching for your family, partner, or crew
- are upgrading boats or learning a new vessel
- want focused help with docking, anchoring, systems, or passage planning
- prefer a customized pace instead of a group course
- want to build both technical skill and better decision-making
