Get to Know Capt. Chris?

Hello, this is Capt. Chris Ioannou. For almost forty years Boating has been my passion. I understand firsthand the financial and emotional investment a person makes in their Boat.

Even more, I understand how hard it is to find someone you can truly trust with those investments. That personal need created this business today. As a licensed Captain I’m here to bring my experience and services to fellow boaters as they navigate their own Waters.

WHAT WE DO

Our Mission

Few have the privilege of getting to spend the time they want to on their Boat. Often life keeps us away longer than we anticipate. When we do find the time, it’s not uncommon to come down to the dock and discover your boat is not as ready as you are.

Nothing feels worse than opening the bilge and finding mysterious water when you arrive, or that feeling when the Engines won’t start. Having the confidence as you pull up to the Marina that your boat is ready to go is invaluable. That’s why we’re here. We help bring the joy back into Boating while protecting your investments.

From simple welfare checks to sea trials and full Charters, we’ve got you covered. Our mission at Yacht Patrol Marine Services is to provide piece of mind at an affordable rate from people you can trust. No longer will you have to wonder what you’re going to find before your next adventure.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris does a great job checking on my Yacht and he’s been an endless supply of hands on help and information. I don’t trust anyone more with my Boat. If I’m stuck somewhere he’s a phone call away. Thats a big deal to me. He’s taken the time to take me out for sea trials on purchases, helped me simply pump-out when I’m trying to operate alone and personally helped me fix several mechanical issues when I just needed another set of hands. I could not recommend anyone more highly than Chris for your Yacht.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris does a great job with his planning and communication, and then follows up with a smile. He is a avid boater and understands my concerns during bad weather and long periods of not being able to check on my vessel. I am a hands on owner and Chris understands that and always offers his ideas , for these reasons I  will continue to be a customer and recommend his services !
