Experience
With 8+ years of professional experience operating vessels in both Southern California and South Florida (Miami), I’ve built my career around safe seamanship, sound judgment, and respect for the water. From yacht deliveries and sea trials to owner training and private captain services, every job is handled with the same standard: operate correctly, prioritize safety, and leave the vessel better than I found it.Availibility

Professional Captain Services | Southern CaliforniaCaptain for Hire provides licensed, professional captain services throughout Southern California. We work with yacht owners, buyers, and brokers who need a dependable, experienced captain to move vessels safely, conduct sea trials, and train owners to confidently operate their yachts.
This is not a tour operation. Our focus is seamanship, safety, and getting the job done correctly.
Yacht Deliveries
Whether you’ve just purchased a new boat or are relocating your current vessel to new cruising grounds, we handle yacht deliveries with precision and care. Every delivery is planned around weather, vessel capability, and schedule to ensure a safe and efficient passage.
Your yacht arrives on time, properly handled, cleaned, and ready for use—not rushed, not abused, and never treated like a rental.
Sea Trials & Purchase Support
We provide professional sea trial services for buyers and brokers, offering an experienced, unbiased operator at the helm. From system checks to real-world performance evaluation, we help ensure the vessel performs as expected before you take ownership.
Our goal is simple: provide clear feedback and a controlled, safe sea trial—no guesswork, no surprises.
Owner Training & Instruction
Owning a yacht should feel empowering, not stressful. We offer hands-on owner training tailored to your vessel and experience level, including:
Docking and close-quarters maneuvering
Anchoring and mooring
Navigation and route planning
Rules of the Road and situational awareness
Vessel systems and best operating practices
Training is conducted in real conditions, on your boat, so you gain practical skills and confidence—not just theory.
Private Captain Services
For owners who need a professional captain for day runs, coastal cruising, or special trips, we provide reliable, safety-focused captain services with clear communication and respect for your vessel.
