“Captain Anthony was a life saver for me and my husband! We were so fortunate to unexpectedly come to own a 27' powerboat, but as landlubbers we had no idea how to operate it. It sat in a marina for months untouched; we were terrified!

I came across Anthony through the US Powerboat Association, and I'm so glad I did. Through a series of private on-the-water lessons we have learned how to: dock (in our very scary, narrow marina!), station keep, use our navigation system, get on plane, anchor, and soon he's going to help us navigate the Ballard Locks.

His demeanor is very calm and friendly; and I have never felt out of control or scared while operating the boat with him on board. After just a couple lessons with him, we were cruising all around Lake Union & Lake Washington with confidence!”

“My wife and I recently purchased a Sabre 42. While we have done some boating, we wanted to improve our safety and protect our investment. We spent a full week with Captain Tony of Sound Mariner. During the week, we learned the boat systems, boating safety, navigation and "what to do" in critical situations. The whole training was completed on our own boat. Captain Tony's training plan is well organized and thorough. Captain Tony is also incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, yet treats each person humbly and with a high level of respect. This allowed us to ask any question, and greatly enhanced our training.

In the end, my wife and I both came out of the time with a good level of confidence for our future boating activities. And, we feel like we have a new friend! We highly recommend Captain Tony and Sound Mariner!”

“We hired Captain Tony for docking lessons on our Tartan 4300. He was kind, patient and understands how adults learn. He made several suggestions that have made docking much easier for us. I would highly recommend Captain Tony for anyone who wants to brush up on their docking skills. He is the best!”
