Great information. The best advice I can give to any boat owner is, never bring a schedule with you. If the weather get's nasty, seek shelter and wait it out. Resist the temptation to "go for it".

Great interview. I've been watching their short videos every day and have learned a lot. He is a spectacular teacher, I hope he knows that! Lakewood Yacht Club (Texas) would be a perfect destination for him to conduct a seminar! All the best.

Only at 5 min into the video,but,I like what I am hearing. I am in AZ right now but,if I ever win a JP,I plan to move back to Ft Lauderdale area,and this 70 year old will have his own home and boat(55'-80')and a nice yard for my Husky. I do like the idea(have thought about it before) of hiring a knowledgeable, and patient, Capt. to teach me),although I worked for Jungle Queen 87-92 as a mate/maint., which I did drive both boats ,even learned to "walk" her to the dock. Thank you and I will be subscribing to your channel.

What I am thinking of is a Sunseeker 55-75,twin eng, diesels, yacht controller bow/stern thrusters for pretty much casual yachting with my Husky and some new friends I get when I return to Ft Lauderdale area.

Yes,I do know that if you have paying passengers or work at,like,water taxi,etc,you need a Capt. License,but not if it is a private yacht-ie:non-paying

Great video..Thanks Technomadia! I hope it won't be to hard getting boater's insurance being a woman with little experience. I'm soon to retire and liveaboard is my dream. Will definitely do training with Captain Chris and his lovely wife!!! Hope to see you out there! I will be docked in Halifax Harbor Marina in Daytona Beach near my family.

Hello Captain Chris let me introduce myself my name is Brian I've been around boats in Florida work boats and pleasure boats most of my life I do not hold a captain's license I am a certified engineer the one thing that gets me and you got to be careful on this grant you the information you're giving is quite correct is when a captain or an owner tries to become a mechanic slash engineer you made a statement here to go down and look at the boat oh this looks good just don't look good if you're investing in a vessel how about survey people that are professionals and know what they're looking at are supposed to I'm not saying you can trust everything they say but they will see past the the shiny stuff to see what's important to see what makes a a vessel something to look at or something to sidestep .to the person I'm building a Chris-Craft 280 Catalina converted from 281 right now that I just dropped a 4lh STE 230 horsepower replacing 2 gas 220 horsepower engine in my cruising speeds probably going to be around 8 knots my top speed is 18 knots at 3000 still in the cruising range of the engine 80% it's when people talk about how fast they want to go first question need to ask how much money do you got how much fuel do you want to burn per mile or can you afford to burn let's say on a trip like the loop and I'm fixing to do it next year there's so much misconception about this and lack of talk and knowledge in my opinion my first little trip on the vessel was 135 MI I left on good weather 1/2 foot Seas then a squirrel popped up out of nowhere not uncommon another thing I don't hear about we hear all this talk about docking but when's it time to stop and put the boat on the hook and quit trying to run and rough weather I hear very little talk about that but yet it has saved my butt many times. I do enjoy your videos and maybe I've missed a few things just my thoughts smooth sailing and Happy Days

Brian thx for your many comments. Absolutely we recommend you hire a professional surveyor - both hull and engine- to find out what is right and what needs to be addressed. Many things to learn and many ways to learn them.

While a "captain's license" isn't required, an "operator's certificate" (a driver's license) is required in most of the states on the East Coast.

Actually... it's a boater's safety course that is required. (and yes, we have done that.)
