Date Of Service June 4, 2016 to June 25 2016 Comments We cannot thank Captain Larry Short enough for relocating our boat and allowing us to have the adventure of a lifetime. Our boat is an old but well kept dame, a Carver 42AFT that we purchased in Mallard's Bay, and brought her down to Waterford, NY through the Champlain Canal. My wife and I had decided that we wanted to relocate the boat to Florida, and had debated whether we wanted to do it solo or hire a Captain. While the trip down the Champlain was enjoyable, we knew that too much time was spent stressing and worrying. So we decided we really wanted to have a great trip, and not have 21+ days of stress. We contacted a few sites offering captain services, but we opted for Boat Captain's recommendation the moment we spoke with Captain Short. He was reassuring, and communicated with us very clearly and the more we spoke with him, the more at ease we felt. Captain Short was just the perfect person for the job. I was able to learn channel navigation, to be at the helm for long stretches, while Captain Short observed, corrected and highlighted best practices. The Captain was very professional, and we were so relieved on those occasions where expert hands and experience was required. Captain Short attended to minor mechanical problems, guided me on maintenance issues, and was readily available to address any concerns. At the end of 21 days, we had not only met a great reliable and professional Captain, but walked away with a new friend. He truly made the trip safe, fun and enjoyable. The fact that he also shared his favorite spots along the way…great marinas, restaurants, worth visiting ports was icing on the cake. I would not hesitate to call on Captain Short for future trips, or for consultation. I highly recommend him as an expert navigator. Bill Day

After having been on this website for only a month or so, I have received 3 jobs from it. All three were from being contacted through inquiries. Definitely worth the small annual fee. The site or its owner do not try an take any other fees what-so-ever. I am very happy with my decision to sign up.

I have to say I average about 1 call maybe 2 per month. The current vessel I'm running PT and managing, he found me on the website and I had a call just yesterday. This gentleman needed a captain to take him to the Abacos but because of the other job from Boat Captains Directory I couldn't go. What ever you did when you changed the website, do it again or something because it's a GREAT tool for myself and I'm sure others. Your fee is more then fair (don't increase it please) Sent from Capt. Brian Conner's iPhone 1-9

Had the pleasure of meeting Capt. Larry at Cape May NJ on our trip to Florida on my 48′ Viking. Our trip was changed when the weather changed and after a short conversation with Larry changed all plans. We went up the C&D and proceeded to travel together by complete accident. It wound up we were together for seven days and I’v been in the marine business for over 35 years and have come across many Captains being in the service end of the marine business and I have to say Larry was one of the most professional , curtious & knowledgeable guys I have met. I wouldn’t hesitate recomending him to any of my customers for transports. Thank you Larry.

Captain Larry delivered an Azimut 40S from Miami to Savannah. He did take well care of her, delivered on schedule and documented with lots of photos. Will use boat captains directory next time I buy a boat! Highly recommended!
