Testimonials

We’re proud of our reputation, but don’t take our word for it:

Ian was invaluable on my recently purchased Hylas 49, both on delivering her from Sint Maarten to Portsmouth RI, and on helping me understand and optimize her systems. Everything from showing me how to do weather routing on the trip home, to fixing rigging issues. Ian’s diverse boatbuilding and racing sailing background enabled him to help with mechanical, electrical, sailing techniques, and preventative maintenance issues. I’m happy to have Ian on my team as I continue to master my new boat.

I recently had the pleasure of delivering a yacht from the southern Caribbean to Rhode Island with Ian. His experience and skills came into play in a huge way to keep our delivery on track and safe and direct and enjoyable. I was extremely happy to have him onboard with us and I will definitely seek him out for future yacht delivery help. I was extremely impressed by what he offered to the boating experience.

In all our 25 years of boating we’ve seen various surveys over the years. The one Ian completed for us was by far the most impressive. Our survey included many photos, a very detailed written report, and he had a willingness to verbally explain his findings. Ian is obviously passionate about boats to be so thorough, knowledgeable, and generous with his time.

Ian also spent a great deal of effort working up an itinerary for taking our new vessel from Connecticut to Detroit. He was extremely patient and thoughtful in answering all of our questions. We regretted we were unable to select this option because of timing, but mostly because we would have enjoyed Ian’s company and vast knowledge of the waterways.
