Captain Larry has been our only ‘go to’ for delivery and transits since 2021. Has has regularly transported our yachts (58’ and 64’) from the Great Lakes to Florida, and Florida back north each season, including a new 2023 ABSOLUTE delivery from our NY dealer to Tampa. Fortunately my busy schedule did allow me to travel along on one of those trips and as an owner/operator the additional skills I learned from him have been a blessing. Caption Larry will always be our first (and only) choice.

Capt. Todd Brennan was knowledgeable, patient, friendly and a great teacher.

Captain Todd Brennan helped me with a new boater and safety training for my boat. He rocks! Taught me how to dock in a tight marina and some cool tricks that made maneuvering way safer and easier. After a few lessons I feel confident and am enjoying operating a boat way more.

Captain Larry Short trained us “newbies” on our new 2006 Beneteau Antares. He went through the boat more thoroughly than the surveyors, made suggestions and helped us avoid future difficulties. He explained systems and functions well and was patient as we were learning what to do and what NOT to do with the boat. His knowledge and experience are vast. and Plus he has many resources that will be put to good use. Plus his stories are entertaining and he’s all-around a pretty cool guy. Thanks, Captain Larry!!

I just hired Captain Larry Short to help me bring my 60′ Absolute Flybridge boat up from Miami Beach to Staten Island, NY. He was very knowledgeable of the ICW (I am most definitely not) and knew exactly where to pull into when the weather wasn’t cooperating. He had all the marinas lined up days beforehand and handled the logistics like a pro. Since this is a new boat, he helped me diagnose issues that needed attention, and we even swapped out the fuel filters due to poor fuel (from the Bahamas). He is cautious when he needs to be and was very familiar with the poorly (charts) marked channels, especially in the ICW. I will hire Larry again in the fall when I bring my boat back down to Miami.
