Meet Jörg
Captain Joerg “CJ” Chabowski
ASA Instructor • USCG Certified Captain
After my first sail in the Mediterranean in 2003, I discovered a lifelong passion for the sea. Greece quickly became one of my favorite cruising grounds. I’ve spent more than 35 weeks exploring its islands over the past 20 years, and also cruised in Spain, Italy, the Caribbean and British Columbia.
Currently, I am an American Sailing Association (ASA) instructor with Modern Sailing in the San Francisco Bay Area, as well as a U.S. Coast Guard–certified OUPV (“six-pack”) captain.
I live aboard my Ocean Alexander 48, Canto Del Mare, docked in Sausalito, California, where I sail and teach on the San Francisco Bay. I feel most at home on the water, constantly learning from the lessons the sea provides.
