 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am incredibly grateful to Henri for his time and dedication in teaching me how to safely operate a boat, especially given my complete lack of experience. I reached out to Henri in early March to inquire about learning the fundamentals of boating. Eager to absorb as much knowledge as possible, I was thrilled to schedule my on-water lessons for early April. I opted for two private lessons, although one would have sufficed. Henri is a natural educator and coach; he created an environment where I felt comfortable tackling challenges, learning from my mistakes, and ultimately succeeding in real-life scenarios. He guided me through everything—from the essential rules of the road to applying those rules practically, ensuring that I truly understood. What truly enhanced my experience was Henri’s character. His moral compass, compassion, and genuine desire for his students’ success shine through. I wholeheartedly recommend Henri to anyone interested in learning how to boat, whether for safety credentials or on-the-water lessons. You can confidently turn to Henri and Shore Boating School for an exceptional learning experience! I look forward to staying in touch, Henri! Thank you once again for everything you’ve done for me! Tight lines, Ben

For boating ,the water , tide , winds and currents are a major factor and very important to know.i have learned that from Henri and it will always be in my mind as I boat. Thank You for a very informative class.
