‘I am so glad I finally made the decision after many years boating with my husband, to do the boat driving course through SisterShip Training alongside my 13 year old son. Jackie was amazing!
She was thorough, patient, so very friendly and knowledgeable beyond words. She clearly has a passion for not only her own boating/sailing safety but everyone she teaches. Noel was on hand to help out with our group and he was equally knowledgeable, patient and kind and rightly so speaks very highly of Jackie and her ability to teach the course. Big thanks Jackie and Noel!’ K.B.
