Foer Front

I hired Paul for two days in April and May 2021 on my new to me boat to help me learn how to handle dual engines and a larger boat in and out of a tight boat slip. Great teacher. We walked through all the major systems and safety. Practical advice and guidance on establishing checklists and routines. Very patient and very comprehensive. He is engaging from the moment you contact him and remains helpful after working with you.

If your new to boating, or in my case needing more experience and confidence on a new boat, I highly recommend Paul. He is also great with families. My two young daughters were with me for the second day and he managed to keep them from being bored, which is no small accomplishment.

We used Paul to make our boating life easier. He removed and replaced all of the rotted planks from the dock, added a roller for boat protection, and installed a ladder to give us something to hold onto when boarding and disembarking. The dock looks brand new. We’re very pleased. And the cost was more than reasonable. In addition, Paul took us out for a couple Of very helpful training sessions. Highly recommended.

I purchased a 40' Sea Ray power boat which was much larger and more complex than anything I had ever owned in the past. I hired Paul to help me transport it and then had him back to give me and my crew an additional lesson on operating the boat. He gave us very good instruction with a strong emphasis on safety which I appreciated. He instilled us with the confidence we needed to operate the boat on our own and has continued to be a source of advice whenever I had questions...great experience!

I was fortunate to meet Paul when when I first started sailing. I hired him for training and have sailed with him a number of times. His experience is vast and he strives to make every interaction a memorable experience. I recommend his services whether it be individual training, a boat delivery or just a pleasurable cruise on the Chesapeake.

It's a pleasure to write a review regarding the experience I had with Paul Foer as my boat coach and trainer. Paul demonstrates the utmost in professionalism and expertise when it comes to training novices. I needed much repetition in even the easiest aspects of sailing and Paul was very patient in going over each task numerous times until he felt that I understood things and was capable learning the skills. Paul is quite flexible in scheduling lessons and will be honest with you regarding if you need more help and when you're ready to set sail! Paul is a true Captain showing the ropes in all aspects of training, he doesn't lose his patience, and he may tell you a joke or two!
