Captain for Hire — Your Vessel
Your boat. Your plans. An experienced captain at the helm.
Owning the boat doesn't mean you have to spend the entire day operating it.
Bridge to Bays Marine Services can be hired to operate your privately owned vessel, allowing you to step away from the helm and spend more time enjoying the experience with your family and guests.
Whether you're planning a family outing, entertaining friends, spending the day at the sandbar, exploring unfamiliar waterways, or simply want an experienced captain aboard, we'll work with you to understand your vessel and plans for the day.
Your captain handles navigation and vessel operations while you enjoy what brought you to the water in the first place.
Captain Services for Bareboat Charters
Renting the boat doesn't always mean you have to operate it yourself.
Some vessel rentals are structured as bareboat charters. Simply put, you rent the vessel separately and retain responsibility for selecting the captain who will operate it.
The vessel owner or rental company may provide captain recommendations, but the decision of whom to hire remains with you.
When the charter arrangement allows, Bridge to Bays Marine Services can be independently hired by you as your captain, providing professional navigation and vessel operation while you enjoy your time on the water.
Not sure whether your boat rental or charter arrangement qualifies? Contact Bridge to Bays before your trip. We'll discuss your situation and determine whether our captain services are an appropriate fit.
