Your best days at sea are yet to come.
They say that the two best days of owning a boat are the day you buy it and the day you sell it––Coastal Captains exists to make every day the best day of owning a boat.
The sea is a place for relaxation, revelry, and self-discovery––not for distress. We free you from the worries of captaining your own yacht so you can enjoy indulgent and thrilling afternoons with friends and family (or even solo).
Broaden your horizons with ease.
We adore Long Island’s marvelous coasts as much as you do––but we know there are wondrous islands to discover, idyllic coves to explore, and unforgettable memories to be made when we venture beyond our learned limits.
It’s hard enough to find time to travel to exotic destinations––let alone to take your yacht along with you. We’ll safely transport your craft through any perilous passages and inclement weather so it can meet you at your destination, polished and poised for your next adventure.
See through new eyes with our local expertise.
With a Coastal Captain at the helm, you’ll discover more stunning vistas, hidden beaches, and mysterious wildlife surrounding Long Island than you knew existed.

Flawless navigation and true relaxation.
When you drive, you hire a chauffeur. When you golf, you hire a caddy. When you yacht, you hire a Coastal Captain.
You have more important concerns than driving your own boat––there are great times to be had, high-stakes deals to be sealed, and incredible discoveries to behold. After all, no one wants to be the designated driver; that’s what we’re here for.
Partners in your boating journey.
The sea is best explored with a friend along, and that's what we hope to be at end of our time together––friends. But companionship is just one element of our commitment––we are the most reliable, thorough, and experienced captaining partners on the market.
We make it safer, more sustainable, and simply more enjoyable to spend time on the water. It’s been said that buying a yacht can be like buying a pair of golden handcuffs––luckily for you, we have the key.
