Frequently Asked Questions in Sarasota, FL
Straight answers to what owners ask before handing over the helm.
No. 27N works entirely on the water. Vessels are moved under their own power and serviced in the water at the slip or mooring. There is no trailering, no travel lift and no road transport.
Cpt. Roman Frapiccini is USCG licensed [LICENSE TBC] and carries insurance appropriate to the work. Documentation is provided on request before any engagement.
Usually yes. Most carriers require a named hired captain, and some set minimum experience or tonnage conditions. Check with your carrier early — it is the one item most likely to delay a booking.
Yes, with written authorization from the owner and an insurance policy that permits it. This applies to captain days, exercise runs under boat management, and deliveries.
Typically 20 to 65 feet, single or twin engine, outboard, inboard, pod or jet. Anything larger or unusual is discussed case by case, and turned down plainly if it is not a fit.
Along the Florida coast and beyond, planned in legs around the vessel's fuel range and the weather. Captain work, detailing and management stay concentrated around Sarasota so attendance stays reliable.
Captain work is quoted by the day or the week. Transport is quoted per passage including fuel, dockage and crew. Detailing is quoted after seeing the boat. Management is a recurring fee set by visit interval and vessel size. Rates are confirmed in writing before work starts.
The job moves. No trip is worth running into conditions the vessel or the crew should not be in, and you are told as early as the forecast allows.
No. 27N finds, reports and coordinates. Repairs are carried out by the mechanic or yard you choose, with access and supervision provided where useful.
