A native of the Long Island North Shore, Captain Dan has been sailing throughout Long Island Sound and Southern New England since childhood, and has spent over a decade continuing formal training in seamanship and navigation, while crewing, navigating and captaining sailing vessels from the Northeast to and from the Caribbean, and along the U.S. East Coast from Maine to Florida.
Sailboat charters are onboard the Sailing Vessel Rhapsody, a ketch-rigged luxury blue water Cruising Sailboat, combining classic design lines with modern hull advances made to improve speed, handling and comfort at sea.
