ABYC –
Yacht & Surveyors, underwriters, adjusters, repairers, lenders, appraisers, towers, and others serving the recreational boating public have discovered that EXCHANGE is an important tool of the trade. As a member-subscriber, you will find reports of actual boat problems (potential hazards), articles on what affects boat safety and insurance, reports on test equipment, and other helpful information. EXCHANGE is truly an exchange of useful information-a year-round "round table discussion" without the cost of traveling to time-consuming meetings and seminars. ABLE SEAMAN- Offshore Supply Vessel.

     As a USCG licensed captain, I will deliver your vessel, pleasure or commercial, to any port requested in a safe and timely manner. My training and experience on numerous vessels from 190 ton OSV class work and crew boats to midsize pleasure cruisers give me the confidence to transport your boat or yacht for delivery anywhere along the U.S. coastal waters as well as the Bahamas, Canada, and Mexico.   

Services
Boat and Yacht Deliveries
My crew and I will move your vessel safely and efficiently between any ports of call in the U.S,  Bahamas, Canada, and Mexico or move it from slip to slip in your marina.  No job is to small or transport to far.  Your boat will not be moved until a complete pre-transport survey is completed by a member of the Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors-SA to insure the safety of the crew and the seaworthiness of the vessel making the voyage.  Inspections are performed to USCG regulations, ABYC standards, and generally accepted seamanship practices. While the delivery is in process you should sleep well at night, between daily status reports, knowing your yacht or boat is in capable hands and being cared for by professional able-bodied seaman.   
                             
Captain Assist
If you are planning a voyage and want additional experienced crew members or chartering for hire and require a licensed captain to be aboard I can help. If the thought of Captain Ron discourages you from a captained charter you can rest assured that I will do all in my control in order that you and your family have a safe, memorable boating experience.  I also have experience in performing pre-purchase, and post retrofit sea trials both at the controls and as crew.  As a qualified Marine Surveyor, I can help you insure that your planned voyage will be undertaken on a safe, seaworthy craft or that your repairs are being performed in a cost effective and prudent manner.
Vessel Handling
If you are in need of training, be it boat handling skills, navigation equipment usage, general seamanship, or assistance passing a Coast Guard exam, I can be of assistance.  Powerboat Squadron and Coast Guard Auxiliary courses are excellent, but if you want a more in-depth and personalized training we can work out a program to suit your specific needs.  A combination of theory and practical application will help you out in tough situations and give others confidence in your decision making abilities.
