Accepted Answer

We deliver and relocate boats throughout the Caribbean, the Bahamas, the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts, Florida, and other ports.

Question 3

What type of boats do you handle?

Accepted Answer

For long distance trips, we handle any type of powerboat (private or commercial) over 30 feet and up to 500 gross tons. For vessel handling instruction, any power driven vessel up to 300'.
NOTE: Smaller vessels can usually be transported over ground more efficiently than over the water. For a vessel smaller than the minimum size stated that needs to travel between Florida and the Bahamas, please contact us and we will accommodate your request.

Question 4

How many hours do you sail in a single day?

Accepted Answer

We usually start very early in the morning for the purpose of being able to travel 
12 hours each day, with daylight hours mostly being utilized. On international deliveries, or when time is a concern, we will run 24 hours a day. For these situations, it will be necessary to hire an additional licensed captain and deckhand.  This ensures both the helm and engine room will be manned around the clock.

Question 5

What will happen if there are weather delays?

Accepted Answer

In the event that we encounter inclement weather conditions, we will seek a port of refuge and wait for better weather. As an alternative, we may be able to select a safer route, if it is available (such as the Intracoastal Waterway on the US East Coast ). A discounted daily rate will be charged whenever there are delays for weather.

Question 6

Does the vessel need documentation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Documentation and/or state registration should be aboard with a letter appointing Captain Ken Krause as the owner's agent.

Question 7

Can the owner come with you?

Accepted Answer

Of course. The owner is more than welcome to tag along on the voyage. In fact, the owner can even bring some family and friends if he/she wants to. However, there are passenger limitations (less than 6) to a vessel that is not a “Coast Guard Inspected Vessel”, and the size of the vessel may also limit the amount of passengers that can come.
NOTE: Inspected vessels are different from documented vessels.

Question 8

Is it necessary for the vessel to have insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Vessel insurance is the responsibility of the vessel's owner and it is a necessity. Capt. Ken Krause will need to be added to the vessel owner's policy. This is usually free of charge.
