What’s inside the Course
Module 1: Course Road Map
We'll start by charting your path through the course, step-by-step, so you'll know what you will be learning and why. Module 1 lays it all out so you know what to expect.
Module 2: Latitude and Nautical Units
Professional navigation requires professional tools, which you'll learn in this module. You'll be building foundational knowledge, step-by-step.
Module 3: Longitude and Home Square
90% of your boating will be in your home square, which is one degree tall and one degree wide. You'll start to get to know this square very, very well.
Module 4: Intuitive Navigation
Now that you've learned the fundamentals, you'll discover the power of mile-a-minute equivalence, and mental estimates of position and distance. You're starting to know where you are, even without a chartplotter.
Module 5: Boss Your Charplotter
Armed with the Big 3 knowledge Building Blocks, you'll now learn what a bar is and why it is dangerous. Most importantly, you'll learn how to plan safe crossings and stay out of trouble.

The price of the course is $397. A six-month payment plan is also available

How long will I have access to the course?
You get lifetime access to the course online, as well as to all future updates and revisions. That means you can work at your own pace, anytime and anywhere.
Can I give the course as a gift?
Yes. Check the box on the checkout page that says “Send as a gift”. The recipient will immediately get a welcome message and an invitation to set up a password to log into the course. But it’s even better if you just email me instead. I’ll set everything up so the recipient gets a personalized welcome on their birthday, or whatever day you want.
How much time does it take to complete the course?
Two hours a week should get you through the course in 3 weeks.
When I buy the course, will I get immediate access to the lessons?
Yes, but don’t do more than two modules a week. This will give you time to fully absorb the material.
How is this different from other navigation classes?
Most other navigation courses still focus on obsolete methods such as plotting courses on paper charts with a pencil and ruler. This course skips all that and instead focuses on two key skills. The first is the intuitive mental mapping system used by mariners around the world. The second is using GPS and chartplotters like a pro. It is the combination of these two skills that make the course so effective.
I know nothing about latitude, longitude and navigation, and I’m a bit overwhelmed by how much there is to learn. Are you sure I can do this?
The material is broken down step-by-step and is highly curated for rapid learning. Students get excited because they see how useful this knowlege is, and how quickly they assimilate it. Many beginning students have done it and you can too.
Whst is in a typical module?
Each module is several short (10 minute) video lessons. The videos have lots of pics, demonstrations and clips to make the material easy to absorb.
Many modules also have handouts, cheat sheets and quizzes (quizzes are not graded)
I still have questions about what’s in the course and how it works?
I'd love to answer all your questions. Contact me by text, phone, or email.

This course is about your future life of adventure
There's a sea cave where I've backed my boat 80 feet into the rock face. When my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I noticed scores of sea birds nesting on the cave ceiling. Starfish and anenomes clung to the rock walls. Ferns and vines hung down from the entrance, dripping with spring water. No place on earth was as beautiful or moving to me.
I won't tell you where it is, because I know you'll find your own magical experiences on the ocean. If you've read this far, you have the heart and soul of a mariner. The ocean has been calling you. Don't let another season go by without heeding the call.
This course is about you and your future adventures. I would be honored to give you the skills, point you in the right direction, and step aside as you live into your own ocean story.
