Permits

I’m Robin Hood, and Kingfish are the King’s Deer

Unlike in the Bahamas, this particular jurisdiction does not include fishing in its cruising permits. So be it.

When the Boat Won’t Listen

Planning for loss of steering and engine control requires familiarity, not new equipment.

Pro Boat Handling: Timing the Tide

When you can’t go any faster or slower, there are other options to help you arrive safely.

A wide, eye-level shot of a small, white wooden fishing boat named "DAMIEN I NICE" cruising through a calm harbor, leaving a gentle wake in the foreground. A single fisherman sits at the stern near the outboard tiller. In the background, a bustling marina is packed with dozens of docked sailboats and white vendor tents along the waterfront, bordered by a dense hillside of European-style apartment buildings under a clear blue sky.

Dash of Salt: Now We’re Talking

Let’s bring back these nautical words and terms. They’re better than the way we communicate today.

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.

When Minutes Matter

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

A high-angle, eye-level shot looking toward the bow cabin of a large white trawler yacht docked in a marina. 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.

Project Langosta

A Down East icon provides inspiration for this gentlemanly cruiser.

$A wide, eye-level shot capturing a majestic and treacherous Arctic landscape filled with massive white and blue icebergs floating in a calm, dark blue ocean. In the immediate left foreground, a towering wall of sheer ice rises sharply, showing deep fissures and dynamic textures. Behind it, a sweeping, mountainous glacier structure dominates the background under a pale, overcast sky, while a smaller, vibrant turquoise iceberg block sits low in the water on the right, displaying bright, light-refracting edges.$

Another Kind of Epic

We follow the path of explorers who ran the Northwest Passage over a century ago, but our journey is a lot more fun

A close-up shot of a white boat's windshield area featuring a white rectangular "FOR SALE" sign with bold navy blue lettering taped inside the glass. A black canvas cover with metal snaps is secured tightly across the top edge of the windshield frame. Through the clear glass, a portion of the vessel's white vinyl interior seating and a white steering wheel are visible in the cockpit.

A Dash of Salt: Carpe Diem

We can spend years planning for a bucket-list trip and then life gets in the way. Go now.
