Catamaran Guru’s broker, Captain Jeff Riecks, is rated one of the best ASA sailing instructors in the country and is a phenomenal teacher. He lived and taught couples aboard his own catamaran, Mira Mar, a Fountaine Pajot Lavezzi 41, for several years. He is extremely knowledgeable not only in sailing techniques but also how to operate and troubleshoot boat systems and electronics.
He offers couples liveaboard ASA sailing schools and / or owner orientations on catamarans, including on an owner’s own catamaran in Florida or Bahamas. In some cases Jeff will do a catamaran delivery with the owners onboard and teach them how to do a passage, weather routing etc.
ASA courses from 103 and up are available along with an ASA 104/114 combo course in a format where you learn firsthand how to apply theory to catamaran sailing and safety.

Captain Jeff,
My wife and I are looking at sailing cats now for purchase in the near future. We live in Jacksonville Beach, FL, but would likely take the cat down to our house in Puerto Rico. Once we buy a boat, I would be interested in taking the ASA sailing courses on our own boat in Florida.
Stay tuned!
Jeff Bredeson
we look forward to getting to know you and maybe sail alongside you!
