SS Marine attends to vessels the way a private estate manager attends to a great house — with discretion, technical rigour, and a respect for season. We work the trade-wind crescent between St. Thomas and Tortola, and our owners ask of us the things that cannot be put in a brochure: that the boat is ready, that the crew are the right ones, that the call at midnight is answered.
From a thirty-foot day boat to a hundred-and-fifty-foot programme, we bring the same standard of seamanship, paperwork, and long-term care. Nothing flashy. Just the right things, done in the right order, by people who live here.
Each service stands on its own. Most of our owners eventually engage all four — once a vessel is in our care, it tends to stay there.
The full custodial programme — guardianage, scheduled maintenance, compliance, accounts, and the small daily attentions that keep a boat ready for her owner at any hour.
A vetted bench of charter captains, mates, stewardesses, and chefs working the Virgin Islands circuit — staffed for the season, the week, or a single voyage.
Caribbean and trans-ocean deliveries handled by senior captains who know these waters in every weather — planned, crewed, insured, and fully documented.
In-house technical crew and trusted yard partnerships across both territories. Routine service, project work, paint, varnish, electronics, and rigging — one point of contact.
We manage sailing yachts and motor yachts from thirty to one hundred and fifty feet — privately owned vessels, owner-operator charter boats, and full-programme charter yachts running the Virgin Islands season.
Smaller vessels receive the same attention as larger ones. The work scales; the standard does not.
"A boat in the Caribbean is either being looked after, or quietly becoming a project. Our job is to keep her in the first category."— SS Marine, Operations
Our American base. Charlotte Amalie haul-outs, Red Hook crew rotations, and the eastern reach of Pillsbury Sound.
Road Town offices, Nanny Cay and Virgin Gorda yard relationships, and the cruising grounds that built our reputation.
