Captain's Service
Licensed, insured, and local. Your boat moved right — anywhere along the mid-coast.
Local Knowledge. Experienced Hands.
Your boat, moved by someone who knows these waters.
Mid-coast Maine harbors are beautiful and unforgiving in equal measure. Tight moorings, tidal currents, rocky approaches — moving a boat here takes local knowledge, not just a license.
We've been working these waters for years. Whether you need a quick harbor repositioning, a haul-out day move, or a point-to-point delivery, you get a captain who knows the coast and handles your vessel with the same care he'd give his own.

What's Included
What Captain's Service covers
From a quick harbor move to a full delivery run — here's what we handle.
Harbor & Coastal Repositioning
Need your boat moved from one mooring to another, or repositioned to a different harbor along the mid-coast? We handle local moves efficiently with full knowledge of Knox and Lincoln County waters.
Haul-Out & Launch Day Moves
Haul-out and launch days are high-stakes. We coordinate with your yard, handle the dock-to-travel-lift run, and make sure your vessel arrives where it needs to be — on time and without incident.
Delivery & Pick-Up Runs
Bought a boat in Boothbay but need it in Camden? Leaving from Rockland and flying home from Portland? We handle point-to-point deliveries and pick-ups so you don't have to arrange crew.
Pre-Departure Systems Check
Before any move, we conduct a thorough systems check — engine, bilge, navigation lights, safety gear, and fuel. You get a written summary so there are no surprises underway.
Dock & Mooring Assistance
Short-handed for docking day? We provide experienced crew for tight marina approaches, mooring pick-ups, and any situation where an extra set of skilled hands makes the difference.
Fuel & Provisioning Coordination
We can coordinate fueling stops, provisioning, and any pre-departure errands so your vessel is ready to go the moment you step aboard.
Better Together
Pair it with Vessel Watch
Most of our Captain's Service clients also use our Vessel Watch program. We monitor your boat through the season — checking bilge pumps, lines, covers, and systems — and handle any moves or repositioning as needed. One crew, one call.
