While our usual agreements are for seasonal engagements, occasionally we can match schedules and be available for shorter term work (daily and weekly).

As all new owners understand, boats can be incredibly complex.  Let us help fill in the gaps and strengthen your knowledge in areas where you would like more in depth training.  We can also train new crew in ocean service.
