Services Offered

Captain's Services

  • Boat Deliveries and Relocations

    We operate vessels for seasonal deliveries, relocations, and purchase transfers. We personally transport vessels by water or over land, plus we coordinate with other firms for overseas shipping (shrink-wrapping services available). We also coordinate with local firms to provide the most cost effective approach for your needs. We'll need to know more about your boat, where it is, and where it's going before we can make our recommendations.
  • Boat Operation Instruction

    Between us, there isn't much we haven't seen or worked on. From small dinghies to large commercial power vessels, bass boats to PT Boats to Victory Ships, we've captained or crewed them all. We enjoy it and would like you to, also. We'll be happy to spend a day or few with you, familiarizing you with your new boat and area of operation in a relaxed, comfortable manner.

Surveys

Concierge Services

We have learned from experience that a boat can become a job unto itself. That being the case, we are now offering new personal
concierge service at the request of our customers.

  • Periodic Boat Inspections and Maintenance

    We put eyeballs on boats.  You may need a general eye out for upkeep, you may need somebody to empty a dehumidifier, it entirely depends upon how often you take care of maintenance, yourself.  We're either here, already, or have folks we trust that are.  We'll provide photo-documentation of any issue we may call to your attention and only perform services you authorize.
  • Personal Boat Shopper

    Every customer has their own idea of what they want.  We may not agree, but we'll listen to the customer.  We are not brokers and provide impartial inspections and analyses of the vessels we are asked to inspect.  If you allow us, we will interview you, develop our recommendation for a boat type and class, then present you options within that type and class that we think may suit your needs and wants best.  We know boats, but we are also pretty good at knowing people.  Consider letting us help you find the boat you'll be happy with.
  • Boat Nanny

    Need us to take over maintenance? If it needs attention, we can probably take care of it ourselves or know the specialists that can.
    If you've spent your live in boating communities, you will have gotten to know all of the locals, from the guy who scrapes hulls to the outfits that perform complete restorations. We know who's reliable, who's professional and who are the best available. Take advantage of our experience. Put your boat in our capable hands and let us save you time by getting the proper maintenance done, working with your schedules.
  • Boat Concierge

    Do you want something that comes close to a turn-key operation? Would you like to arrive at your boat, step aboard, and head out? Your boat should be an escape from chores, not another whole set of them. We can take care of the details that ensure that your boat is stocked, fueled, pumped out, and ready to simply enjoy as soon as you board. We'll take care of what's necessary to ensure that you can enjoy your boat.   We can provide provisioning checklists and be your Personal Boat Shopper, so that you can walk down the dock, one time, with your personal clothing and belongings, and head out. There is no type of ship or personal yacht that we haven't provisioned.  Meeting unusual requests is our specialty.
