Testimonial

Past students have this to say about

Full Time Sailor

Through his intensive training, Norbert taught me in a very short period of time the intricacies of sailing, Mediterranean mooring, sail trimming, and much much much more! Even after completing my ASA 104 sailing certification, which qualifies me up 46ft, I didn’t have the practical experience to feel confident to sail. Norbert definitely gave me the practical sailing experience to feel confident to set sail. If someone asked me if I could recommend a sailing instructor, I would have no hesitation in recommending Norbert. He’s honest in his instruction, challenging in his method, and thoughtful in his assessment.
The knowledge and instructions of Norbert where very useful to me, and besides that, it was great fun! My boat was new to me and my sailing capabilities where very rusty. Norbert helped me get acquainted with my boat very quickly and made me feel comfortable sailing my boat! You can really see Norbert’s passion for sailing! Always busy tweeking the sails a little bit better. He is very clear in his instructions and in a pleasant way. The course was great fun! With Norbert you get quality and fun for your money. You will learn sailing quickly and in a very enjoyable way. Go for it!
Norbert is like a farmer who takes care about everything on the boat. Norbert has a superb knowledge of sail trim, and let’s you enjoy sailing while learning, and at the same time you get the operational skills and professional cognition. In sailing class with Norbert you will understand that he is a trusted coach and friend, full of passion for sailing.

Share the adventure and grow with the great sailors of tomorrow

Norbert Alias Captain Long

Your success is my biggest goal

I want you to be able to enjoy sailing to the fullest. Therefore I will do everything to make you a confident and skilful captain, to whom sailing feels like second nature instead of a nightmare which is more exhausting than enjoyable.

Therefore I created a curriculum that makes your learning much easier and faster. I cut the slack & focus hard on helping you understand the principles behind the actions. I teach you the WHY not just the WHAT, so you can solve unexpected situations – I tell you there will be many – on your own with CONFIDENCE.

We do provide courses where you can acquire a sailing licence.

Some courses are designed for enhancing certain skills and gaining experience and getting a licence is not involved in it.

Absolutely YES! 

There’s nothing like having an arsenal of lessons available to you whenever you want to practice or refresh your dusty skills.

Nobody remembers every single word from a class or a practical course. Often it’s the small details that can save you from a 5 figure damage repair cost or embarrassment in front of others.

These online lessons serve as an excellent supplement and you can watch them anytime & anywhere. 

Furthermore we’ll not only teach you the theory in the online course, but also the practical side of sailing, so you’ll be visually familiar with a boat and its equipment by the time you actually get on one. 

The Full Time Sailor mobile app is available for members only. When you purchase a course you will receive information about downloading and using the app.

The app allows members to easily view all their classes on their phone even if they have no internet connection.
