Captain Stefan offers private sail training for beginners and experts alike. Locally owned in St Petersburg Florida, Captain Stefan offers affordable day sail and overnight learning charters to the many South Florida anchorages and marinas. Stefan’s coaching style is laid back with the overall objective of increasing your confidence and sailing abilities while having fun sailing.

Captain Stefan sails out of the Harborage Marina in downtown St Petersburg which provides the protection of Tampa Bay, allowing for consistent winds and predictable weather. Our proximity to the Gulf of Mexico at the mouth of Tampa Bay and Egmont Key allows the option to sail offshore when weather permits.

With over 30 years of experience delivering yachts, racing, and cruising, it’s not surprising Captain Stefan’s sailboat is an excellent hybrid racer/cruiser Beneteau Oceanis 373. His sailboat has many amenities you just won’t find on a typical charter boat such as downwind sails and whisker pole, a Viking life raft, 2 dinghies, a water maker, a 3K inverter with generator, a diesel heater, multiple chart plotters, radar, AIS and the list goes on.

Experiencing these systems and hybrid sailboat attributes may also be of interest if you are considering purchasing your own boat down the road. Captain Stefan’s experience and skills as a licensed yacht broker can assist you in making a better yacht purchase decision or help you make the most out of your own yacht.
