Captain Chris Yacht Services just completed another offload of a Krogen 58 and 44 and will help you get a feel for how it’s done.

Once you own a boat you will always look at weather in a different way. Although you listen closely to NOAA and keep a sharp eye for weather changes you can still find yourself in the middle of a good blow, gale thunderstorms or even a waterspout! […]
Coming into New York from the Atlantic Ocean is a wonderous experience. In calm seas you can spot the Verrazano Bridge, count the arriving flights at JFK Airport (2 per minute) and almost smell the hotdogs on Coney Island. When the weather has been less than kind, you’re lucky to see 2 boat lengths ahead in between the ocean swells colliding with the ebbing tide from the Hudson and East Rivers. […]
Next time you cross over a bridge in your car or have to wait for a bridge to open, think of the marine traffic below the bridge. […]

Summer is here and many people head north for a cooler season. Sometimes that means we’re asked to deliver their boat to their vacation home on the Vineyard or the Great Lakes. If they won’t be near the water, they may ask us to prepare their boats for summer storage. Often, that means a haul out to a boat yard. Throughout the summer we will make scheduled visits to the yard, replacing the chemical dehumidifiers and checking on the boat overall. If a Hurricane approaches we can return to make it storm worthy.
