Christian van Rey - Cruising Instructor

Christian has decades of experience as an instructor. During his younger years, his passions included sailing and horse riding, and they have continued to be his passions to this day. He decided to become a sailing instructor after 20 years of sailing his own boats, mostly singlehanded in the Dutch waters – and then starting as Instructor and Delivery/Charterskipper all around Europe.

In 2012 he became a RYA Cruising Instructor, and worked in Costa Brava, Gibraltar and the Canary Islands (which he believes is an outstanding and exceptional sailing and training area).

His solid knowledge and experience after 40 years of sailing and his passion to teach has inspired many of his students. Christian believes in the "happy boat and crew happy" philosophy, and he comes with endless patience and is very happy to let students benefit from his passion and sailing experience!
