Reliable and dependable personal service, specializing in yacht delivery to and
from the Rio Dulce. Have your sailboat thoroughly checked for
seaworthiness, then prepared for the passage across the Gulf of
Mexico and down the Yucatan Channel, past the coral Cays of Belize
and on to Guatemala. We handle all the paperwork regarding customs
and immigration inspections. Expect realistic
competitive delivery prices to include required upgrades and normal
expenses for the distance traveled: less than 1000 miles from most
points in the Gulf of Mexico and South Florida. The Rio
Dulce is 340 miles south of Cancun/Cozumel and 650 miles from Key
West. U.S. Coast Guard certified Captain
available if required.
Fly only two and a half hours from Houston or Ft. Lauderdale to Guatemala to join
your newly re-fit yacht in the peaceful wooded environs of Cayo
Quemado Bay, about 8 miles up-river from the NW Caribbean in clean,
clear fresh water. Enjoy fabulous
year-round tropical cruising on Lake Izabal, the bustling “yachtie
central” global community in Rio Dulce/ Fronteras, or the
breath-taking “Gorge” toward Livingston and the sea.
We have NO hurricanes, NO marine patrol and
NO price-gouging marinas.
A marine survey is usually commissioned by a serious buyer to be sure that the boat
under consideration is thoroughly evaluated by a professional, and he can
therefore feel more confidant in sales negotiations.
A top-notch surveyor, like Casey, can spend up to two full days surveying the
boat, and then compile the results from hundreds of inspections to
include in his final report. Unlike a simpler “checklist” style
survey, Casey inspects the boat through the eyes of a boat builder
and cruising sailor with many years of experience. His survey is a
lengthy written report full of opinions, observations and
recommendations. He is also able to offer suggestions as to the
boat’s suitability to your personal plans and lifestyle.
A marine survey is a highly technical unbiased evaluation to determine fair market
value, insurability and the level of future satisfaction with your
own cruising experiences. A boat deemed to have terminal problems
and not worth buying can conclude early at $35 per hour. Surveys only run $14.00 per foot. Complete reports run $500 to
$600.
Casey’s passion is building wooden boats by traditional methods, from kayaks and
dinghies to classic racing yachts. At his dock in Cayo Quemado on the Rio Dulce, he is able to
offer the finest quality craftsmanship, with the highest quality
tools, at a fraction of the cost of an ordinary boatyard in America.
A re-fit of your boat can include hull and deck repair, custom interior joinery,
rigging work, repair and installation of marine-quality systems,
bright work & painting, and many other improvements to optimize your
efficiency and comfort.
