The 3 Captains started in 2020, and has slowly grown to what it is today. We have used our experience from our previous endeavors as a lesson to focus on doing things right to ensure that our customers are well taken care of.
You can rest assured, that with us you will receive the best service and care.
Anything worth doing is worth doing right, and we truly believe in this. During our consultations we spend hours talking with you, inspecting the vessel, and going over our inventory to find the right fit for you.
Our expertise and knowledge ensure that you not only get what you want, but also what you need, so your next adventure is safe and full of excitement.
Some businesses chose to offer these for free, spreading the cost to all customers. We believe that to provide a greater value for all of our customers the consultation is paid, and the cost of it is rolled into your purchase with us.
Our goal is to reduce our overall cost to minimum and pass the savings on to you. This is why we don't have a physical showroom and don't carry any inventory. Every order is custom built and shipped directly from our distributor, allowing us to cut cost significantly.
Our goal is to be the highest quality Marine Services provider with the greatest value to our customers.
We stand 100% behind the products that we install and sell.
The manufacturers we offer are the best in the business, and their warranties can be easily handled by you or through us. We will reinstall the product, free of charge, once the manufacturer warranty service has been completed.
If, for any reason, the damage was caused by one of our experts, we will replace the product and reinstall at our own expense with hopes that you will understand that no one is perfect and that mistakes sometimes, even though rare, do happen.

After you've made your boat purchase, one of our USCG Licensed Captains can help you gain the skills and knowledge needed to navigate the local waters with your boat safely and with confidence.
Our goal is to not only sell you your first boat, but to continue to provide services for years to come.
Our real business is relationships. Our passion is boating. The rest is our way of helping people experience both in a positive way.
Most definitely, we are happy to help finding your boat the next owner.
Our process is somewhat unique in the industry and it reflects our dedication to excellence as well as our extensive experience in the field:
- We take the time to do a full pre-sale assessment of the vessel before listing it on the market
- During this process we will take drone videos of the boat, as well as some preliminary pictures for reference
- We will hire a cleaning crew to clean and stage the vessel for sale before final pictures are taken
- We also discuss any changes, improvements, and service needed to be done so that the vessel will get the highest value possible
We believe that buying and selling a boat has more in common with buying or selling a house than anything else. This is why we ensure that every boat we sell meets the highest standards. We also expect the same from the boats we help our clients purchase.
We believe that great customer service should also come with a great value to our customers.
While we do much more with our engagement with our customers, our fee structure is in line with the industry standards and every other vessel broker on the market. Remember though that value doesn't mean cheap, and while we strive to provide great value to our customers, our services are going to garner top of the market pricing.
With us, you get better service and more value for your money!
We definitely can! In fact this is our specialty.
Due to our extensive sailing experience in the Pacific, Atlantic, Mediterranean, etc., we have direct knowledge of what it takes to navigate those waters safely.
Each voyage has specific requirements which have to be met by the vessel and crew. From sailing to Alaska, to going through Panama Canal, to doing the American Great Loop, boating in the Great Lakes, or sailing the Mediterranean, we've done them all and know exactly what it takes to get the job done safely.
If the boat is out there, we will find it for you!
Whether it is short distance or around the world, we can help your boat reach its next destination.
Generally, how a boat is transported depends on size of the vessel and the distance it needs to travel. Bigger vessels are easier to move over water while some smaller ones can be trailered to their destination.
Our USCG Licensed Captains can either move the vessel for you, or we can work with one of our many marine transportation partners to move the boat over land or on a transport ship.
Please fill out the Vessel Transport Request Form so we can discuss this in more detail with you directly.
