Join us in Vero Beach Florida on Monday and Tuesday November 4-5, 2024 for our two-day Introduction to Boat Systems Seminar. Our Optional Boatyard Tour is held before class begins on Sunday morning November 3, 2024.
Captain Chris will take the mystery out of maintenance in our November Introduction to Boat Systems Seminar. If fuel filters, impellers & bilge pumps aren’t in your everyday comfort zone then this two day seminar will help prepare you to start your Cruising Adventure. From changing your own fuel filter to maintaining your shaft seals, Captain Chris will get you safely on your way…saving your $$ for marinas not mechanics!

What people are saying about Captain Chris’s seminars:
- Just wanted to take a moment to thank you and to let you know I thought you both did a great job presenting the class. It was a tad overwhelming at first with all of the information you presented but obviously so important to know. Considering where we are with our search, I was pleased the opportunity presented itself and I was able to attend this class at this point in time. I feel I am now better equipped to inspect a prospective vessel and to know what to look or at the very least ask about. Now that I am armed with all this information our quest for the “perfect” boat can begin in earnest – Fred A
- Chris is able to take complex mechanical things and put them into every-day terms. It is a gift! – Brenda W
