Susie 

Thank you. I cannot express how grateful and appreciative I am for everything you've done for me. You've taught me a tremendous amount of things about sailing, management and life in general. I came expecting to become a sailor and quickly realised all the experiences I have endured have helped me to become a better person. And for that, I thank you!

You run an incredible sailing school! I think your advantage over other sailing schools is the quaility of instruction(all the instructors

truly care about the advancement of students) and the close -knit family feel. I know sometimes you think it would be great to have more boats and skippers but being taught by a few similar styled instructors provides many benefits, such as consistency. Over all I just wanted to let you know I currently think the world of your school and style of program you provide. I couldn't have imagined having a better 3 month sailing experience! Blue Oyster & Palamos will always be apart of me I will definitely be back. Thank you for everything! And if you're ever in Canada you have a place to stay. Have fun with sailing  and your daughter Harriet xx. Lauren

Susie, 

I know it has been a while since I took my Day Skipper course with BOS this summer, but I wanted to take some time to write to your company and say thank you very much.

It was an extremely rewarding course and Oliver was a fantastic instructor.  I feel that I learnt an enormous amount in the 6 days I was on the boat, both from Oliver and the other participants (Matthias & David).  Oliver was a tough boss, but it is just the way I like it.  No messing around - "please" and "thank you"  don't have a place on a boat when rounding Europa Point in F5-6 or tackling a high speed ferry at 3 AM in Gibraltar Bay or when you're helming an 18 tonne lump of GRP towards a $5 million dollar super-yacht.  It was like 'Boot Camp' with an incredible feeling of accomplishment when finished.  Oliver was also great fun while we were relaxing and he was a wealth of knowledge and information to help us in our future sailing careers.  

Well done to Oliver!  Thanks again! Alan Boatman RYA Day Skipper 2014.
