Pam Wall’s Consulting Services

Pam Wall’s consulting services offer the expertise, advice, and security of over a decade of Outfitting Management with West Marine, years of raising a family on a sailboat while circumnavigating the globe, and a lifetime of cruising the waters of the world. Consulting can come in many forms, but what you gain is the knowledge, comfort, and understanding of coastal and bluewater cruising that will allow you and your family to enjoy your time on the water with the peace of mind that you are prepared for your adventure.

With previous clients, the following questions have been tackled in many different ways: simple conversations while outfitting your boat, helping you to find your ideal boat, meetings to discuss specific situations and cruising locations, and sometimes, shadowing me on a cruise.

Every consultation has different needs and different expectations. If you are interested in finding out about how I can help bring more enjoyment to your next adventure, are interested in a quote for my services, or would like to speak with me personally for any reason, please contact me.

Pam’s Testimonials

“Pam’s sailing and bluewater outfitting experience helped us find the right boat and save money while outfitting that boat for our first year of cruising. We would not have achieved our cruising dream without her!”

Robin and Darren P.

“It is a pleasure to have you here. On Friday, after your very first talk, a gentleman stopped me in the lobby to ask if I was in charge of the presenters… He gave me a huge pat on the back and said that he had just come from your session and that the entire Festival was worth it just for that one class.
He described your talk as life changing… so there you have it, Pam – we are lucky to have you!”

Ace – Seminar Coordinator for the Wooden Boat Festival of Port Townsend, Washington

“I want to thank you for all the knowledge you bestowed upon me through Cruiser’s University! I learned so much and I feel a lot more confident in our cruising adventure we will start next Summer! You and Behan are an amazing pair for the Cruising Women course and I learned a lot in what is needed for the boat in the Bow to Stern class. We also are excited for the Bahamas and have a better understanding of the Gulf Stream from your Bahama Bound class! Thank you also for this awesome list of cool products!!”
