Reference:

Captain Paul served as Captain and Engineer on my 65' Hatteras vessel for three months. During that time we cruised the Florida Keys, passing up the west coast of Florida and through the Cross Florida Canal (lake Okeechobee) to Stuart and Ft. Pierce. During this time he displayed an awareness of safety and docking and anchoring without damage.
His duties included training a new crew, purchasing and servicing numerous on board systems, tender handling and maintaining fuel and all liquid levels. He was entrusted with the vessel's credit card and no discrepancies occurred.
A change in our usage plans were the reason we ended his employ.
Please contact me if further information is needed.

Mr. Steven C.

To whom it may concern,

Captain Paul has been employed by me for 6 months. He captains my 55' Neptunus total length is 58' with TNT around the East coast of Florida.
Captain Paul has handled all duties on my vessel with expertise and full knowledge of navigation and engineering. I would recommend his capabilities on any vessel I own.
Sincerely,
Andrea
