I really had a super experience with Arista. Not only did I greatly improve my skills and confidence but we had some fantastic learning adventures visiting beautiful Islands. A few months later, I was on the helm for setting and pulling the anchor - again no problem after practicing with Arista at Potato and Little Sheep Islands. I even had to jump off the boat onto a floating dock while we waited for the fuel dock to open. I did everything Arista taught us - devised a plan, got the lines ready, put the fenders out, etc. All in all, Arista catapulted my skills a couple levels forward. ---Christina P., Annapolis, 2019
