I had a great experience with Chase Mastel, arrived right on agreed time, cordial and professional introduction.
Proactive in building my confidence with clear instructions for safe boating practices and particularly with docking skills which was the main focus of my training.
I highly recommend Chase as a boat instructor.

Chase is the right person to help you improve your boating skills. Besides helpful tips on docking, he answered all my boating questions. I will definitely recommend him to others.

I had an excellent experience with Chase. I decided that this year, I wanted to learn how to operate a boat independently. From docking to anchoring Chase taught me everything I need to know and I now feel confident in my boating abilities! Would highly recommend

Chase was absolutely amazing and our daughter will definitely be back. Chase gives a lot of instruction and made sure our daughter had a great time and was enjoying what she was doing! Can’t say enough great thing about her boat coach experience.

My husband and I recently took a two-hour boat driving lesson with Chase and couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. From start to finish, it was professional, thorough, and incredibly helpful. What stood out right away was the instructor’s willingness to meet us at the lake we are most likely to use—something I didn’t expect but appreciated so much. It made the lesson feel truly personalized and relevant.

We started with a comprehensive overview of boating safety and proper procedures, which gave me a solid foundation and a lot more confidence. Then we moved on to hands-on practice, covering everything from launching and docking to how to safely and effectively tow and pick up a downed wake surfer/rider. Chase was knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging the entire time. He explained everything clearly and gave us plenty of time behind the wheel to practice.

By the end of the lesson, we feel much more confident in our ability to handle a boat on our own. We will be using his services again for additional lessons and assistance learning to wake surf, ski/wakeboard towing and general practice to keep improving our boating skills.

If you’re looking to become a safe, capable, and confident boat driver, this lesson is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!

Boat Coach Chase came to our home and offered one-on-one (and two-on-one when our teenage son listened in) instruction in how to manage our Super Air Nautique G23. We'd had the boat for several seasons but had never really properly learned how to handle it. Chase is very personable and knowledgeable, and his coaching approach is somehow simultaneously laid-back and hands-on. He had lots of general rules and ideas about driving the boat and about guiding surfers. He had also clearly studied up on our specific make and model to offer more fine-tuned tips. Many times since our last coaching session, the boat captain (husband) has commented, "I wish Chase was here!" Boat Coach MN is investment in education and protection in watercraft. Get coached now!
