I got the Whaler (Donzi in my case) at a much earlier age. In my teens I had access to larger boats. By 15 I was operating a small (45 passenger)...
In fairness, my father gave me the keys at a very early age. But he also taught me how to handle it first.
You can surely see the production quality improve with experience. Great people on a really cool adventure. Could make a good argument for a...
Nope. Just met for the first time.
That's really a question for the insurance company, but Google "BIMCO Tow Contract"
This is Squirt, our 1957 Nash Metropolitan. We've just finished a full restoration.
Some very exciting news for Elayna and Riley today...

Probably not. There was a huge SW wind forecast, and people have been warning them about it all week. Heck, I'm in Fiji and knew about it from...
I've been waiting for something bad to happen on that float-down every year. My Dad hates it, as he runs a tour boat on the St. Clair River. Last...
I haven't been, but was recently at Wakatobi in SE Salawesi. It was spectacular, particularly underwater!! I've heard the Raja is starting to...
You hit the nail on the head.
I did not say that I considered it dangerous; I felt it was an easily managed risk. If I was uncomfortable with the risk, I would certainly have...
I have no reason to doubt (or trust) that you have the skills required to be the captain of a Superyacht right now. What I am saying is that...
These are all good responses. Driving the boat is only about 5% of my job (even though we put in lots of sea miles, and are underway most days)....
