Meet Capt. Dave

My name is Captain Dave Gugliotti. I have been on the water most of my life and have to admit I am very addicted to boating, as a lot of you are. I graduated from Springfield College with a degree in Business in 1997. I had bought my first boat before I graduated. It was a 20’ Cuddy Cabin that ended up having plenty of motor problems. This however, did not deter my passion for this life style. I started teaching Boating for the state soon after I got my certificate being the youngest teacher they have ever had. Combining my love of business and boating I obtained my 100 ton Masters license and started Connecticut Boating Education. Since, then I have dabbled in Navel Architecture at West Lawn School, extended my Boating and PWC class to navigation, on the water training, charters, and yacht brokering and I am still expanding.
