About North South Yacht Services
At North-South Yacht Services, our goal is to provide outstanding yacht delivery, operational training and other captaining services to the yachting community - private yachtsmen as well as yacht dealers and brokers. We specialize in providing these services to owners of quality power yachts – such as Sea Rays, Cruisers, Grand Banks, Mainships, Carvers, Silvertons and others - in the 40 – 60 foot range..
Our yacht deliveries can include any routes on the U.S. East Coast. We are U.S Coast Guard licensed captains each with literally dozens of years’ on-the-water experience along the eastern seaboard from New England south, including the Intracoastal Waterway, the Bahamas, Florida Keys, Okeechobee Waterway, and the Gulf of Mexico.
Our yacht operational training provides yacht owners, both first-timers and those moving up to larger vessels, with essential knowledge in safety, yacht handling, navigation, and owner maintenance.
We will captain your yacht for those special occasions when you wish to attend to your guests, and “leave the driving to us.”
Our training and short term yacht captaining services are offered in the northern Chesapeake Bay and southwest Florida on a seasonal basis.
Our captains possess the educational, career/professional, yacht-handling and seamanship backgrounds you would expect to support your yacht delivery, training and captaining needs.
Captain Charlie Ryan, the founder and principal captain of North-South Yacht Services LLC and North-South Navigation LLC, has more than thirty years’ professional sea-going and yachting experience. He is a lifelong boating advocate who followed his love of the water and all things nautical into his life’s vocation as a career naval officer before embarking on the yacht services business. His love of boating began with competitive sailing dinghy racing at age 8 and cruising aboard family boats on the Great Lakes through his high school and college years. He has owned a series of boats – both sail and power, including his current boat, a Cruisers Inc 440 Express. During his navy years, Charlie spent nearly fifteen years at sea in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, including tours of duty as captain of two destroyer-class ships. Captain Charlie holds a 100Ton U.S. Coast Guard Masters License with Sail and Towing Endorsements, and is a U.S. Coast Guard-approved instructor.
North-South Yacht Services, LLC was formed in 2002. Our business is located at 10120 Bertram Lane, Fort Myers, FL, 33919.
