Full Service Boat Service And Maintenance Offered By A St. Petersburg Marina Company

By Arthur Albao


Many services make owning and piloting a boat more convenient. The various St. Petersburg marinas have a great deal of necessary services and amenities to offer. An owner may find little time to plan a trip to another vacation spot. Planning such an excursion involves dealing with schedules, boat maintenance and confirmation of reservations.

Making use of one or more checklists can make it possible to prepare without the assistance of a travel agent. The owner or person who captains the boat must keep a lookout at all times when the boat is on the water. He must be cognizant of all navigational rules and regulations.

It is a good precaution to keep the radio on and tuned in to a weather station for alerts to bad storms approaching. Also leave a float plan in the possession of a responsible person on shore. Be prepared to offer help to any other boater who finds himself in a dangerous situation.

Many captains take a seminar on safety. In spite of previous training, it is always helpful to have a refresher course as well to learn what is new in boating safety. Knowing what to do when a storm strikes is crucial.

There are terms a sailor should be familiar with that allow for accurate exchange of information in case of an emergency. For example, the front of the boat is the bow and the back is the stern. The captain will be able to quickly communicate with a crew through the use of these terms.

At this time, a new plan is in the design phase for a new pier to join the list of St. Petersburg marinas. It is going to be a beautiful landmark when finished. Boaters who dock there will have access to Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. It will have first-rate amenities including shopping venues.
