Testimonials

"You get what you pay for - highly recommend VMS to folks looking for training built specific to you, your goals, and your level of proficiency. I came to VMS with ZERO boating experience. Captain Mike developed a fully customized Executive Coxswain™ 10-day training package that enabled me to received my VA Boating Safety License, NSBC On-Water Qualification, and complete >30 hours of private on water instruction. I finally feel like a safe, confident and capable boater. Thank you!

"Our family hired VMS for a one-day Charter Boat Captain service, so we could experience VB from the water. Captain Mike customized our itinerary to include a morning of sailing and swimming followed by an evening fast boat adventure. My girls  took the helm, and screamed with glee! We all learned so much. VMS far exceeded our expectations and gave us memories that will last a lifetime! I highly recommend Virginia Maritime Solutions!  We can't wait to come back to VB for another adventure!

Top-notch performance; recommended to all my colleagues and their families. I'll definitely be back for additional advanced training!

"When I inherited my fathers' 26' Cuddy Cabin in Virginia Beach I hired VMS to deliver it to Washington, DC. I had no prior boating experience so VMS used the trip to provided me custom on-water training. Such a cool and informative experience. Couldn't have done it without VMS."

-Greg M., WDC IT Manager

"We bought our first-ever family boat and to be honest, we were overwhelmed and nervous out on the water. The Executive Coxswain™ training course provided me, my wife and our oldest the skills and confidence required to get out there as a family and enjoy the beautiful water right here in Hampton Roads."
