About Captain Rob — The Boater Behind Helm Cards
USCG Licensed Captain • 25 Years on the Water • Boating Instructor
I've spent years teaching new boaters how to dock, anchor, navigate, and stay calm when things get stressful on the water. During my time working with new boaters, I saw the same challenges come up again and again — confusion, pressure, and that moment where you're not quite sure what to do next.
I created Helm Cards as a simple solution for those moments. Clear, waterproof, quick-reference cards built for real situations boaters face every day. No guessing. No overwhelm. Just the steps you need, right when you need them.
My goal is to give every new boater more clarity, more confidence, and a safer, calmer experience on the water. Helm Cards are part of a larger teaching system I’ve built as Captain Rob — focused on helping boaters feel calm, confident, and capable on the water. For those who want to go deeper, I also offer structured online training and real-world instruction.
