Zig Zag, Provisioning Spreadsheet

"Overall, the service is fine. However, in attempting to use the provisioning spreadsheet was not user-friendly. I am familiar with Excel but it was hard to follow the directions for use of the spreadsheet. Reply: In follow-up emails with Kathy, I discovered that she was trying to use the spreadsheet not for a trip but for the initial stocking of her boat...." Read more

VHF Radio: Everything You Need to Know

"[The VHF Course is] To oriented north america. Reply: Thanks for letting us know that we needed to make that clear on the sales page -- we now state that it is US-based information and issued you a refund. We take our guarantee seriously and even though you didn't request a refund, it's clear that the course didn't meet your needs."

Dreamer, Get Ready To Cruise The Bahamas

"My wife and I took this course because we had no idea what to expect when we arrived, or the journey to get there. Carolyn's course covered everything we needed to know and was easy to follow. We are now way-more confident making this trip."

Pisces Escape, Overcoming The First-Year Learning Curve

"I have looked at other modules and feel that this module does not contain the readily available information that the other ones do. This is more of a pep talk than a "nuts and bolts" fact-filled module; I prefer the fact-filled modules."

Full Monty, Documents for Boat Buyers and Owners

"I think The Boat Galley is the only blog my husband follows. We love the tips, the ideas, the honesty of how something went, what worked and what didn't work. And we love food and enjoy both the cookbook and storing food without refrig."

sv Fuzzy Logic, Documents for Boat Buyers and Owners

"These classes both provided knowledge and comfort! We learned a lot (as most new yacht owners do!) but also it definitely helped 'ease the mind' to work through the material and seeing how it all made sense. Much appreciated!!"

"I've never been disappointed with a course from The Boat Galley. One of the great things about the courses is that even if it is something familiar, I learn a different way of looking at it. Can't recommend these (any of them!) enough!"
