Above and Beyond, defined...

Extraordinary service...

Truly a cut above--Our charter and private boats are equipped above and beyond anything else out there!

We take great pride in the extraordinary service we offer our clients as a result of our 38 years of experience.

We have developed a team of exceptional people and as a result, we offer much more than the typical dealer who basically orders a boat from the factory set up in some factory perceived average way with no input from you or recognition of your particular cruising style.

We go much further.

We meet with you and discuss a systems approach to commissioning. This includes offering custom commissioning based on your input. Go to the left column for Above and Beyond here, or simply scroll down.

Water filters. We are installing fresh water filters so you can get the cleanest, best tasting water right from the galley tap. It won't be necessary to lug on cases of bottled water anymore!

Safety and security. When you leave the boat to go exploring or to your favorite restaurant--do you worry about the stuff you left behind? With most boats, an intruder can simply walk aboard and have access to your personal stuff or valuable boat equipment that you are responsible for. Now, we are installing heavy duty combination locks and a keyed burglar alarm so the entire crew can have your custom combination when they individually come back--but intruders will move on to the next boat not so well protected.

Finally, a smelly subject. Do you object to the inevitable smells you find aboard? Whether it's the head, bilge or cooking odors--it doesn't matter. Our Ozone generator will clean the air before you board, and our on board generator will keep your boat fresh while you're cruising.

Eric Smith, President, welcome!

Above and Beyond

You're special:

It's not enough to propose ideas or to offer a stock boat. When you come to us, we'll show you a packaged boat that comes closest to meeting your objectives, and then we'll have a sit down meeting with your dedicated commissioning manager and sales associate to review a 6 page list of commissioning options...

The Vagts just took delivery of their Fountaine Pajot 40, "Neverland" (Chartered out of Key West winters, Annapolis, Summers.) 410-263-1818

But even before that happens, we want you to consider all of the possibilities for having custom commissioning done (Note, more often than not, this results in cost savings over simply letting the factory do everything!)

So, how do you review the possibilities? It's easy, just go to our form, "Your Boat, How do you want it?" and explore the possibilities!

Note: Please don't actually fill out and send back the form unless you're within about 3 months of getting a new or used boat from us. But, if you're ready, we'll offer a really comprehensive price quote and option list that will show you the possibilities. Are service and prices are guaranteed the best, so you have nothing to lose by working with us!

1. Things that make your boat even more special and/or to be installed on charter boats.

Ideas we're about to incorporate into our boats.Water Filter

 1. Fresh Water filter.

The 3M US-B1 Recreational Vehicle/Marine Filtration System provides biologically safe drinking water for you and your family. When you leave the house, leave the bottled water at home and install the US-B1 in your boat or RV today!

The 3M RV and Marine Filtration Systems are designed for consumers who want great tasting water and improved water quality from their tanks and hose hookups.

About $350, installed with extra filter. (2,000 gal per filter)

Alternative, Culligan filter system with separate, dedicated faucet. About $350 w/separate faucet.

Other ideas:

  • Soften and filter water going into tanks--portable system, about $310.

  • Consider a reverse osmosis (water maker) system.

2. Killing smells--an ozone generator.

Just beginning to investigate. Link to good information and a company that produces 110V, household units. More to come. Good ones can be had for around $300.

3. Security for you. (Includes a new way to lock your boat)

Simple, motion detector alarm-self contained, with stickers. Sounds a piercing 130db siren to scare off potential intruders. Create your own security code.

Combination hatch lock. On monohulls it installs on your sliding hatch to prevent it from being able to  be slid. Self set your combination. No more fumbling for keys, or playing who's got the keys.

Complete security/warning system

Other ideas.

A complete, monitored (calls your cell or Emails you) system is available with smoke, high water and intrusion alarms. About $1250 w/all sensors, portable, self installed.

Another system, under $1,000 click here.

2. More about commissioning

Imagine you're buying a new house. It comes: in red brick with a black roof and standard landscaping. Inside you have all tile floors, standard appliances, Formica counters and cabinets. That's it. Few if any other choices.

You probably wouldn't buy a house like that where you couldn't specify how you wanted it, yet that's exactly what most boat buyers do.

They don't understand that boat builders offer products for Mr. Average. They package in stuff they get cheap, or that has high margins (for them!)

We take a different approach. We offer you a 6 page list of custom options. In most cases, your boat will be a blend of what we have found to be good value options from the factory, and better equipment we can get locally.

We analyze your specific requirements from a systems approach point of view. We take into consideration a companies track record with warranty and support. How the equipment affects electrical loads or boat balance. And, most importantly what specifically is your cruising style.

With all of this in hand, we make recommendations and in virtually every case, but together a boat that meets your requirements and will give you the most enjoyment you can have.

Here are some important links to consider:

Your boat, how do you want it? A form to express your preferences. (Please, only send it if you are within a few months of ordering a new boat or buying a used boat.

Commissioning done right. Our service manager shares some of his thoughts on ways to get your boat commissioned better, for less.
