We are based in Deale, Maryland, just outside of Annapolis, on the Chesapeake Bay. We specialize in work on the US East Coast, but we will work anywhere in the world.

Most likely yes, we will start or stop anywhere in the world. However keep in mind that you will be paying travel expenses at both origin and destination, so if you aren’t starting or ending somewhere in the Chesapeake Bay area, you can expect your costs to be higher.

Since there is no such thing as a boat (even a new one) without issues, yes. And we certainly don’t expect it to be perfect. However, we do expect it to be safe, and we reserve the right to terminate the passage (or not get underway at all) if there is a significant threat to the safety of everyone on board. We do love challenges, so if you have one, give us a call!

Yes! However, keep in mind that before we sign a contract that includes owner(s) as crew, we’ll want to spend some time getting to know you and your boating background first.

Absolutely! We carry our own Starlink Mini system for electronic communication (including VOIP), as well as emergency communication capabilities.

Each delivery is unique and there are many factors that impact potential costs. Historically, the average cost generally falls between $1,000 and $1,200 a day (plus crew travel and fuel), for a delivery of 7 days or less that includes passage in the open ocean.

It varies based on the size of vessel, nature of the work, crew requirements, etc. We charge either hourly (dock to dock) or day rates based on an 8-hour day. Contact us and request a quote with as many details that you have available.

We will work within the framework/employment structure of the owner/operator of the vessel. We are comfortable with working on either a W-2 (Employee) or 1099 basis.

There are many Captains and crew that will do this work for free (or nearly free) for “the sea time.” The company is led by a licensed Captain with over 3,000 days underway, 30+ years of experience, and we work with professional or semi-professional crew. You are paying for that experience, the most important of which is the certain knowledge that he hasn’t ‘seen everything,’ but he’s seen enough to solve just about any problem and—more importantly—keep everyone safe.

Yes, for any service that will require extensive advanced planning and obtaining a crew (generally any service of two or more days, but we may ask for one in other circumstances).

If we cancel for any reason, you will receive a full refund of any deposit less any actual authorized incurred expenses. If you cancel after a contract is signed, you will forfeit at least some portion of your deposit, the terms of which will be spelled out in the contract.

Any travel at either end of a passage will be at cost if any commercial transportation is used (rail, plane, rideshare, etc.). If we are driving at either end, we will invoice round-trip mileage at the GSA mileage rate ($0.725/mile as of January 2026) plus tolls.

Yes, but we generally prefer to handle it directly and invoice you at cost. When things go wrong with commercial travel, it is much easier to resolve problems when they arise if the traveler is also the purchaser. Travel requirements will be part of our initial conversation.

Yes, but it is to protect our professional and business licenses. No one would ever insure a single person to operate “any and every vessel”. See below question about adding us to your insurance.

That is up to your insurance company, but in most cases the answer is yes, especially if you will not be onboard during any time away from the dock. The most common terminology includes adding “additional insured” or “named operator(s)” clauses. Your insurance company will likely require information from me; it is critical that we start this process right away.

If your primary policy doesn’t (most don’t), then we STRONGLY recommend it. The owner is liable for any towing and salvage costs if things go wrong.

We will proceed to the nearest destination that can accommodate both the vessel and any potential repairs in the safest way possible.

The answer is nuanced (especially if the owner is aboard), but generally speaking the master is ultimately responsible for the safety of the vessel and crew once underway. In the event of a disagreement between owner and master, we will default to the course of action that we deem to be the safest.

Yes, but it is ultimately up to your insurance underwriter if Jason’s credentials are sufficient (we have not had any issues with this before). Please contact us to discuss.

Absolutely! She is available for Bareboat (demise) charters or at hourly rate for up to six guests with a Captain.
