Instructor Introduction

Toshichika Tanaka

Toshichika Tanaka

My interest in the ocean began when I started surfing when I was in high school.
While looking for a job to work at sea, I was advised that it was important to experience the customer's position first, so I went to YMCA Sports College and learned about the sea.
After graduating, I got a job at a marina in Yokohama, where I met ISPA.By re-learning yachts from scratch, the charm of yachts and the sea has increased further, and I have acquired an instructor qualification.
After that, I cruised in Canada, California, Hawaii, and Australia to study yacht culture.My desire to make people in Japan familiar with the yacht culture of other countries became stronger, so I moved to the current Riviera.Through ISPA in the traditional Sagami Bay, we would like to help people of all ages learn how to enjoy yachting.
