Great day on the water with Mark Thompson. He was thorough in covering all aspects of the assessment. He was serious, but friendly and not intimidating. I learned a lot while simultaneously being tested.

Mark's calm, and supportive approach to both me and my partner Rochelle was exceptional. He was certainly knowledgeable and was able to convey his thoughts and expectations effectively. The boat was a wonderful teaching platform. Would sail with Mark again in a heartbeat.

Mark was very knowledgeable of sailing, docking, navigation, anchoring, and teaching. He was friendly and not intimidating. He gave each student a chance to sail and answer questions. I have already recommended him to other people who are interested in gaining an ICC certification.

Out of all the sailing instructors Ive had, Mark Thompson was by far the best. He was very knowledgable and Helpful. He made the environment relaxed and very easy to think and act safely. He also gave me tips and prices of knowledge that I have used to better my ability to cooperate safely. My hardest thing to overcome was docking stern too and Mark made it so easy that I felt like a pro. After my assessment with Mark I went to Croatia and chartered for a week and docked stern to every night and using his techniques I was confident and ready for each situation that came up. Thank you Mark, and thank you Grant for referring me to Mark.

Mark was absolutely fantastic!! He is patient, and immensely knowledgeable. He vastly improved my sailing knowledge as well as my practical sail handling and overall navigational and seamanship skills.
