We can’t say enough good things about One World Sailing Academy and Jason. From the very beginning, Jason has gone above and beyond in every aspect of our sailing journey. We actually purchased our current boat through him, and his support didn’t stop there—it only got better.
Jason has been an incredible resource for everything that comes with boat ownership. From mechanical systems and troubleshooting to sails, rigging, paint, and outfitting for blue water cruising, his depth of knowledge is unmatched. He’s not just an instructor or broker—he’s a true, all-around sailing expert who genuinely wants to see his clients succeed.
Beyond that, the hands-on sailing instruction we received was invaluable. Jason taught us highly effective downwind sailing techniques that have made a huge difference in both our speed and comfort offshore. He also helped us build strong navigational skills and confidence in passage planning—skills that have proven essential on longer crossings.
What really sets Jason apart is his availability and willingness to help when it matters most. During our Pacific crossing from Puerto Vallarta to French Polynesia, we lost our generator mid-passage. Jason was the very first person we called. Within an hour or two, he helped us diagnose and resolve the issue, and we were back up and running—making water and continuing our journey safely.
Without Jason’s guidance, we honestly wouldn’t be where we are today in our sailing journey. His experience, patience, and dedication have made a lasting impact on us, and we would highly recommend One World Sailing Academy to anyone serious about learning to sail or preparing for life offshore.
