The Boat Guy: Wakeboard Until You Drop (VIDEO)

The Boat Guy wakeboarding video is a testimony to not getting scared of doing something you want just because everybody says, “It’s too hard,” or “You’ll never learn it,” and so on. So go, get on the water!

THE BOAT GUY: Winter Boating (VIDEO)

With regard to the “Winter Boating” segment, I want everyone to know that I “eat my own cooking.” I’m not laying on my couch, during the winter months, with my favorite blanket over me, while I tell you folks you should get out on the water. Honest! This time I’m telling the truth. Really!

A side three-quarter view of a large, rugged expedition trawler named "PAUL JOHANSEN" cruising through calm open water. The vessel features a dark blue hull creating a white wake at the bow, paired with a cream-colored superstructure and a high pilothouse. A tall central mast holds multiple radar domes and communication antennas, while the upper deck carries a white tender and a bright yellow kayak. An American flag flies from the stern under a grey, overcast sky.

Straight Life

Once a rescue craft, this Norway-built steel trawler is the ticket to ride for a venturesome crew.

The flight crew, pilots, and medical personnel wear a mix of green flight suits, tan jumpsuits, and polo shirts. In the background, a cloudy sky features a large, semi-transparent watermark logo of a star with wings. Bold, white capital letters overlay the bottom of the image, reading "WHEN MINUTES MATTER."

Island time is great, except in an emergency. This medevac service is for boaters who need help fast.

A worker in dark blue clothes stands atop the cabin roof structure, using a long-handled brush to scrub the fiberglass surface next to a yellow water hose. The boat features a forward-slanted windshield with multiple wipers, a dark wood-planked foredeck, and stainless steel railings. Other luxury yachts are closely docked on either side under a bright, partly cloudy blue sky.

Stain Masters

Black streaks, yellow mustaches and rust all require different solutions to keep a boat looking clean.
