Trusted Yacht Delivery Blog
We love the water and boating. We are going to try and use this area of our website to provide information that is helpful for boaters. A lot of our article will be about deliveries, but we will also use this blog to write our stories about some of our deliveries that may be of interest to some readers. If you would like to have an article posted here, please submit it to info@trustedyachtdelivery.com.
Check Ride Certification – Insurance Underwriters Evaluation Sign Off by Captain
If your insurance company requested an evaluation and/or training, you can get either (or both) from Captain Dave Subers.
New boat owners as well as experienced yachters with new policies are often requested to have a United States Coast Guard Licensed Captain sign off on the yacht owner’s vessel familiarity and operation before the new boat’s insurance policy goes into effect.
Yacht Delivery & Boat Relocation
Trusted Yacht Delivery is a Florida-based vessel relocation business specializing in navigating the waters of the United Stated and the Caribbean. Whether it’s a motor vessel, powerboat, or commercial vessel, our qualified and credentialed Captains and Crew can safely deliver or relocate different types of vessels to a location that is most convenient to you.
Boat Deliveries don’t always go according to Plan
I was recently contacted by a new boat owner to help him move his boat from Sanibel Island on the West Coast of Florida to Jacksonville. In my planning we were going to travel through Fort Myers, and then proceed through the lock system of the Okeechobee waterway. Our trip was planned to go through Lake Okeechobee and then on to Stuart Florida. Unfortunately as we approached the Port Myaca lock, the starboard side engine started to overheat.
How to become a Boat Captain for Hire
Though not a requirement for recreational boaters, having a captain’s license is a great way to boost your resume and show others that you possess expert-level knowledge of maritime rules and regulations. The license only becomes necessary if you get hired to navigate an auxiliary powered boat in USCG-patrolled waters.
Florida Boat Captain for Hire
Florida Captain Dave Subers has a great deal of experience in relocating and delivering vessels in and around ports, canals, rivers, marinas, homes, and ICWs along Florida’s navigable waterways. He also has done vessel reposition voyages in all of Florida’s inlets, ports, and intercostal waterways. If you are looking for a Florida captain who has done and is capable of doing just about everything, then you want to hire someone like Captain Dave Subers.
