Jackson's coaching is exceptional. He made sure that every second during his multiple day course that we were getting value. His teaching abilities are one of a kind. He is the best in the biz!
Captain Jackson is a true professional and made my training process a lot of fun. I’m a first time ocean boat owner and had never been at the helm of a multi engine boat before.His wide knowledge of all things boating and ability to explain concepts in an easy to understand way was very helpful..I took the basic cruising course and plan to continue my training this winter. I’d highly recommend Captain Jackson for any training you need.
We had an amazing day on the coast and in the harbor with Captain Andrea and her team. They instantly made us feel welcome and we truly enjoyed getting to know them throughout the day. Their endless local knowledge was so interesting and their passion for the Cali beaches shines through. It made us that more excited to be here. We appreciate the incredible hospitality and we hope to be back someday! Highly recommend!
Captain Jackson and Captain Eric at NCMA are top notch at what they do. First class from start to finish. The course was so informative and gives the confidence you need at port and when out to sea. This is a must do for all new boaters and their families!
I never post reviews but am making an exception here based on the quality of my experience. My wife and I recently completed NCMA's powerboat cruising course with Jackson. We cannot recommend him, or the course, highly enough. Over several sessions our knowledge and confidence level with our new boat increased significantly. Jackson is a highly effective teacher that has the skills to relate and communicate with students of all skill levels. Can't imagine there's anyone better out there!
