Hi, I'm Patrik,
I am a sailing instructor with over 8 years of full-time teaching experience spanning most of Europe, and the West Coast of Canada.
I also offer connected experiences like adventure sails & experience builders.
Through Yacht Master Class, I would like to share with you my passion for sailing by teaching best practices to give you a safer, more confident, and more enjoyable time on the water!
Please note that Yacht Master Class is not a traditional sailing school or an RTC, and I only offer bespoke private training.
