Our boating experience with BoatSure and Captain Koutrakos started out of necessity and his skill and professionalism saved what could have been a disaster of a boat delivery and turned it into a great experience.
After hiring a Captain to bring our 49' Silverton up the coast from Fort Lauderdale, Fl we ran into problems in Mertle Beach, the transmission failed leaving me with a couple of weeks for repair. The Captain had other obligations and couldn't stay, he recommended BoatSure and Captain Peter Koutrakos. After discussing my situation with Captain Koutrakos he spoke with the company installing the new transmission and made all the arrangements to fly down and meet me after the repairs were complete. Although I was very leary about taking the boat out on the Ocean, Captain Koutrakos explained the risks and benefits of first taking a quick Ocean jump to Moorehead City, avoiding a lot of possible delays because of tides and bridge openings on the southern portion of the inland waterways north of Mertle Beach. His experience on the Ocean proved invaluable in saving both time and money. The rest of the trip proved to me that choosing BoatSure and Captain Koutrakos was the best move I could have made, his knowledge of the waterways and his boat handling skills turned this trip from a disaster into a memorable experience.
