As the owner and captain of my own fishing boats, I understand the love a boat owner has for his/her boat. My mission is to treat your boat with the utmost care. I live by the philosophy to return your boat to you in better condition than when I took possession. I will clean, complete minor repairs, and make notes of things that must be done on your boat while I’m aboard.
Unlike many other delivery captains, I own boats, and understand the love and passion a boat owner has for his/her boat. Many boat delivery captains do not own boats and look at a delivery as a vacation, an opportunity to drive someone else’s boat at someone else’s expense.
My goal is to deliver your boat safely and in an economical manner. My daily rate is the same whether I’m on the water 4 hours or 10 hours. Some captain’s will run your boat throttles wide open to save time on the water, with little regard for fuel costs and engine wear and tear. I run your boat at the manufacturers recommended RPM for best fuel economy/efficiency. It may take a little longer, but it will save you, the owner, significantly over the long run in fuel costs.
