Hi, I'm Captain Dave Vincent. I've been a boater all my life, starting on Lake Erie in Ohio where I grew up. Twenty years ago, in the dead of a northern winter, I decided to visit my mom in South Florida. I enjoyed the weather so much that I never left. 

 A few years later, I was introduced to boating in the Florida Keys, where I now live and work as a professional captain. Whether for pleasure or pay, I spend as many days as  possible on the water!

 I have an OUPV (six-pack) license with a towing assistance endorsement from the U.S. Coast Guard. I am qualified to captain boats up to 100 tons (or approximately 60 feet). My professional experience includes serving as a commercial tow boat captain and as a crew member and relief captain for private yacht deliveries (as large as 196 tons/115 feet).

I can serve as your private captain on a boat you own or rent (up to six passengers). I also provide on-the-water training for new boat owners and boaters who are new to the area.  I can also deliver boats up to 100 tons to or from South Florida or the Florida Keys. For larger vessels, I have access to a network of captains and can organize a crew to meet your requirements.

I am also an FAA-certified drone pilot and can capture aerial video memories of your Upper Keys vacation, wedding, fishing excursion and just about any other outdoor activity. If you need images of your Upper Keys roof for insurance purposes,  I can do that, too!
