    Hello all, First I would just like to say hello as I am new to this site. I started a small buisness about a year ago offering captain and dive services. I have been operating boats for money since I was 15 running crab boats on the Ches. Bay. I served in the USCG and currently am a contract captain for Sea Tow and run offshore fishing charters and tours from time to time I even operate fire boats on a regular basis. My question for you all is how to get into the delivery and or managment of more high end yachts. I have done a few deliveries just by word of mouth but would like to take on much more. Any advice would be helpful

    Thanks

    It's all about building a reputation. After that, it's who you know. Keep shaking hands.
    You may also try contacting MBach through the PM system. He is involved with one of your local yards.
