CoastEase Captain Services — Winter Availability for Professional Captains, Vessel Management, Deliveries & Training
As our tiki charter season wraps up and the Pink Pearl heads into her winter refresh, the CoastEase crew is shifting gears — but we’re far from slowing down. While tiki cruises resume in March 2027, CoastEase Captain Services stays fully active all winter across Orange Beach, Perdido Key, Gulf Shores, and Pensacola.
If you need a licensed captain, boat training, vessel delivery, yacht management, or broker support, we’re here and ready to help.
Professional Captains for Hire — All Winter Long
Winter is one of the best times to hire a captain on the Gulf Coast. Whether you’re a local boat owner, a pontoon renter, or a visitor wanting a stress‑free day on the water, our licensed captains bring decades of USCG experience and unmatched local knowledge.

Pontoon rentals needing a licensed captain

We make every trip safer, smoother, and more enjoyable.

Thank You for an Amazing Season — We’re Still Here for You
While the Pink Pearl rests and gets her winter glow‑up, we’ll be working our other maritime jobs and spending precious time visiting our son overseas as he serves in the Army. But CoastEase Captain Services remains fully active all winter long.
If you need a captain, delivery, sea trial, vessel management, or boat training — we’re ready.
Stay safe, stay salty, and we’ll see you on the water. — The CoastEase Crew
