★★★★★Will HundahlGraham at Santori Sailing School saved the day. I needed to complete the practical portion of my SLC exam before a trip to Greece, and he made it happen by coming to Marblehead and running the exam on my own boat. Professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating — exactly the kind of instructor you want in your corner when timing matters. Highly recommend.
★★★★★Vini KurtiI recently completed a diesel engine course with Graham, and it was a great experience. He is incredibly knowledgeable and expleains things in clear, practical way that makes it easy to understand. I walked away having learned a lot and feeling much more confident in the subject. Highly recommend his course to anyone looking to build or improve their skills.
★★★★★John PalysRecently completed the Practical Training Course for Diesel Engines - recommend this highly to anyone with a diesel-powered boat! Graham is a terrific instructor who de-mystifies the complexities of these engines, and shares an abundance of practical advice - if you don’t understand how your engine works, take this course! You will gain hands-on experience with a working sailboat engine, which you can apply to your own situation. 5 stars!
★★★★★Barbie PapaliosMy husband and I went on a 3-night 4-day cruising class. It was a wonderful experience. We learned so much from Graham (the instructor). We practiced man overboards, learned to sail while overpowered, learned about the systems on a boat, sailing downwind, docking, and anchoring. It was also good practice to see all the things you need to think about when sailing. It was also lovely to sleep on the boat and wake up to the calm water and have coffee and breakfast. It really was a great introduction to the cruising life. The route was really up to us and our interests and the weather. We ate in the boat for two nights and went out one night. I highly recommend and would do it again!
★★★★★Christine Tara MahoneyWhat a wonderful sailing school! I took the Large Keelboat Classes in Marblehead and the Bareboat Chartering Course from Warwick, RI to Block Island, RI in September 2025. The instruction from both Captain Graham and Captain James was top notch. Terrific classes! Amazing sails along the coast. I learned so much. Captains are very knowledgeable and so helpful with on the water learning and any sailing questions as well. Small class size so lots of opportunity to practice on the water. I highly recommend Satori Sailing. 5 stars!!! Thank you :)
