Taking a boat bluewater is a serious undertaking — and the difference between a great adventure and a dangerous one often comes down to the vessel and how well she’s prepared.

Captain Bruce has logged over 100,000 ocean miles under sail, including 1.5 circumnavigations. He’s weathered the storms, made the difficult passages, and knows firsthand what the ocean demands of a boat and her crew. That experience is what he brings to every offshore survey.

Whether you’re evaluating a potential bluewater boat or getting your current vessel ready for a passage, we can give you an engineer’s eye and an offshore sailor’s honest assessment — of the hull, the rig, the systems, and the gear. We’ll tell you what’s right, what needs attention, and what it’s really going to take to get you and your boat ready for sea.
