    Dave and his boat are fantastic! We booked for some sailing instruction, and while there wasn’t much wind, it was still amazing. Dave explained the boat setup, the electronics, and other relevant things to consider when sailing in the harbor while giving us a beautiful tour around lower Manhattan. We also set sail and took the wheel for a bit. I would 100% recommend going out on Dave’s boat with him whether for a sightseeing tour or to learn from him, or both.
