My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

share experiencevisit remote placesseek adventureface challenges

Debi my lovely wife and I, Greg, lived and cruised our own Moody 40 which we sold.
Since then we have somehow got involved in managing / caretaking both yachts and properties in the owners presence and absence and now have tons of experience in both these angles.
Should you wish to leave your boat somewhere or your leave your property to go somewhere, contact us to look after it, clean it and maintain for a small fee.

Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks and fair winds..Greg & Debi
