Drawing upon my extensive captain experience and thorough knowledge of various ports and waters, I offer Trip Planning Assistance and vessel handling lessons as a direct service to vessel owners. This service utilizes my detailed understanding of maritime routes, from the East Coast to the Bahamas, the Gulf, and Eastern rivers, to support your journey planning and vessel preparedness.

This assistance extends to developing detailed maintenance schedules and preventive maintenance plans tailored to the specific needs of your vessel and its systems.
