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

By Arthur Albao


St. Petersburg marinas offer many services for boat owners. Someone who owns a boat, and docks it at one of the many marinas in the area, may enjoy day trips or longer excursions to other locations. It may require extensive time to make and confirm plans for such a trip. He may not have free time to take care of all the details.

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.

If a radio is kept on that is tuned in to the right station, the captain will be immediately informed of any dangerous weather conditions. If people in another boat are in danger, if they are close enough, the captain must offer some kind of help. Leave a float plan with someone on shore for your own safety.

A captain may take a daylong seminar to be fully advised on safety precautions and what to do if an emergency does occur. It is crucial to know how to escape an impending storm. Someone on board should know first aid and lifesaving methods.

There are some interesting nautical terms to become familiar with. This will make a quick exchange of information possible in any emergency. The sails have different names and knowing those will enable you to take a sail down or lift one up as needed.

A new pier will join the list of other available St. Petersburg marinas and is expected to be a major landmark upon completion. It is now in the design phase. When complete, users will have access to the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay. Amenities will include extensive slips, plus restaurant and shopping facilities of the highest quality.
