Your Boat. Our Captain.
A 100-Ton Master on your vessel — for a charter, a haul-out, a docking, a delivery, or anything that requires someone qualified at the helm. Sail or power.
The full range, on your vessel.
Whether you need a captain for the day, a professional at the helm for a special event, or someone to move your boat safely from point A to point B — we can handle it. Sail or power, any occasion.
Day Charters & Cruises
Sunset sails, social cruises, corporate on-water events, and anything that puts your guests on the water with someone qualified at the helm.
Fishing Trips
Inshore and nearshore. We get you to the fish and back — you focus on the rods, we focus on the boat.
Docking & Marina Moves
Tight slips, unfamiliar marinas, short-handed crew. We put the boat where it needs to be, without the stress.
Haul-Outs & Yard Runs
Moving your boat to or from a boatyard, on-the-hard coordination, and anything that happens in that window.
Vessel Demonstrations
Sea trials for buyers or sellers, demonstrating performance, handling, and systems to a prospective buyer.

“In May 2018, we purchased a Dyna Craft 52 for which Nate Eckler was the broker. He was very knowledgeable and provided clear and helpful direction during the process, as it was the first time we had purchased a boat of this kind. During the purchasing process, we discovered Nate was also a Captain and once the boat was ours, we booked him for numerous lessons to teach us a variety of boating topics such as operation, boating safety and navigation. Nate is skilled, patient, calm and he brought a sense of humor to each lesson. We would absolutely recommend Nate as a broker and Captain.”
“Nate has been an amazing asset as we make the jump to a large boat from ski/runabout. One piloting training was invaluable and more to come, and he has been an amazing resource to get questions answered and to get connected to services we need. We are building confidence, capability and comfort much more quickly thanks to his expertise in all areas, and he's always just a text or call away if we need anything. Highly recommended!”
