Why is it So Hard to Control Your Boat?

With millions of boats on the water, you may be surprised to learn that over 57% don't have the skills to totally control their boat when docking, in wind and current or even understand the basics of boat handling.

That's because unless you want to spend several hundred dollars to hire a licensed captain (and find one that actually knows how to teach the building blocks of boat handling skills), you'll have to learn by trial and scar-error while on the boat with your family and friends.

With this approach, no wonder you're frustrated and stressed taking the boat out!

No One Has Revealed to You the 3 Keys to Total Control

Have you ever watched someone that is amazing at handling a boat?

They aren't much different from you, they just know the 3-keys to having total control of their boat.

Keys that anyone can quickly learn (with the right instruction), even if you've never been behind the wheel of a boat before in your life.

Your Boat Handles the Exact Opposite of Your Car 

Think about how simple it is to pull into a parking place at the grocery store.

What if docking your boat or pontoon was just that easy at a busy boat dock?

The good news, when you discover the difference between driving your boat and your car, you're half-way to docking mastery.

You Haven't Discovered How to Adjust to Wind & Current... Yet

Imagine you're pulling into the docks and a gust of wind blows you off course and now everything is a disaster.  

Your friends, family and kids standing at the ready to push off other boats, docks and other dangers. It can certainly ding and ego... and let's hope that's the only thing that gets dinged!    

Now imagine pulling right in - despite - the wind & currents!

I Want to Know More About the Docking Mastery

3 Knots Every Boater Should Know

Do you know the 3 knots every boater needs to know?

If not, the good news is Capt. Matt will have you tying them within a few minutes so next time on the water you can use the simple and easy knots.

No need for a Eagle Scout badge either... they are so easy my 7 year old can tie them.

How to Operate in Open-Water

Its easy to operate a boat in open water right?

Sure, but its a little harder to do it safely, courteously and without damaging the boat.

In this module, Capt. Matt jumps in the boat with you to demonstrate various boating situations you'll encounter on the water.

Giving your family and guest the most comfortable and smooth ride will make your boating day more fun, more relaxing and you can avoid the costly damage that can happen.

Practical Boater Safety

Capt. Matt has developed a pre-departure framework that makes it easy to ensure everyone has a great day on the water.

Bringing family, friends and guests out on your boat can really increase the level of enjoyment for many boaters, however their lack of boating experience can sometimes cause problems.

You'll learn more in these 2 short modules that will improve your boating fun and safety than most safe boating courses teach in a boring 8-hour class.

What if I’ve been boating for several years?

What if I trailer my boat?

If you are a trailer boater, like Capt. Matt was growing up and many of the clients he’s trained, you’ll want to take advantage of the Trailer Like a Pro program that you can easily add before checkout.

Why is this program only $247?

This program was developed because every time I'm out on the water, I watch boaters struggle.

Struggle with docking.
Struggle with the wind.
Struggle at the boat ramp.

Every time I saw the struggle, the frustration, the swearing, the yelling at the kids, the wife, the husband, other boaters...

I said to myself... "If they just did X, Y or Z, it would be so much easier." When I offered help, sometimes it was accepted with a warm 'Thank You'. Other times, it was a dirty look like, who are you to tell us how to do this.

It wasn't me, they were frustrated, angry and often embarrassed and the timing of my offer to help was the problem.

So, I created the first version of this program and got some pretty amazing comments from new boaters that were very appreciative. They told me I could easily charge several hundred dollars for this for this and tons of people would jump on it AND be thrilled with the value.

However, I want as many people to take advantage of this training as possible because I know how much more fun they COULD BE having on their boats.

I know how much less stress, less frustration, less embracement, less anger, less yelling - AND THERE WOULD BE NO NEED for the t-Shirt that says "Sorry for What I Said When Docking the Boat!"

So, I decided to make this training program one of the cheapest boating items you could buy this year that would deliver the biggest impact on your boating enjoyment. And, fifty bucks would cover my current costs and seemed to be enough that when you buy it, you'll actually pay attention and watch the program... yet low enough, no one would say, "that's too expensive."

Heck, $200 bucks won’t even cover half your repair bill when you ding up your boat because you hit something at the dock.

* Now, because of the increasing costs associated with the website, members only area, email systems, technology, payment processing, tech support, customer service and getting the word out to every boater in the US and Canada, it is likely the price will go up in the future. I’ll do my best to keep the investment reasonable but as the cost of doing business increases, so will the price of the program.

About Captain Matt

Captain Matt became a boater at age 5, when his parents bought a used 16’ Larson tri-hull with an 85HP Mercury 2-stroke. See the picture of Matt (red life vest) and his brother Steve on the family's first of many boats.

From that day forward he and his family were boaters.

During his 10+ year career in the boating industry as a pleasure boat specialist and consumer advocate with his Boat Buyer’s Secret Weapon YouTube Channel (with nearly 60,000 subscribers and over 3,000,000 views a year) he has operated over 500 boats from pontoons, tri-toons, bow riders, deck boats, aluminum fishing boats, skiffs, center consoles, jet boats, cruisers and sport yachts.

In addition, he has trained nearly 2,000 first-time boaters on pontoons, bow riders, cruisers, jet boats, single engines and twins so they could operate their boat safely, efficiently and confidently without all stress and heart-ache most other experience.

Many have happily paid over $200/hour to do private trainings which typically last 4 hours.

Realizing that few new boaters get that level of training before hitting the water, Capt. Matt decided to put his proven training system into an easy to digest video format to help even more boat owners avoid the stress, frustration, cussing and dings that come from not having total control of their boat around the dock and other common boating situations.

You can find Capt. Matt on the water with his 2 daughters and wife on the lakes in the Carolinas, with his in-laws boating on Lake Loudoun near Knoxville, Tennessee or with his parents, brother and sister, nieces and nephews at the family lake place on the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. 

And, if there is a boat show, marina or chance to be on the water, he is likely nearby.


Why Capt. Matt created this program?

Boating is part of him and he wishes more than anything that you develop the proper boat handling skills because boating will provide some amazing memories for you and your family as well and the better you can run your boat, the better those memories will be!
