He has completed numerous long-distance deliveries, including:

Roy’s approach is meticulous: he inspects and double-checks the vessel, plans and double-checks the route, charts primary and alternate paths with safe-harbor waypoints, and reviews everything again while incorporating professional weather routing, real-time sea-state updates, and ongoing adjustments.

During deliveries, Captain Roy operates at speeds appropriate for current conditions and the vessel’s structural integrity, constantly balancing fuel efficiency with schedule requirements.

Above all, Roy is passionate about both sailing and powerboating. His mission—and that of Long Beach Boat Captains—is to deliver a professional, safe, and detail-oriented experience for every client, whether performing a vessel delivery or providing instruction, with the ultimate goal of earning repeat and referral business.
