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.

Perfect for:

  • Pontoon rentals needing a licensed captain

  • Boat owners wanting a designated driver

  • Visitors unfamiliar with local waterways

  • Families wanting a safe, easy day on the water

  • Brokers needing captains for sea trials

  • Owners wanting help with docking, navigation, or close‑quarters handling

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


Captain School — Become a Licensed Captain in Orange Beach

This winter, we’re also teaching for The Captain School in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores — helping future professional captains earn their credentials and build confidence on the water.

Available courses include:

  • OUPV / Six‑Pack License

  • Master Upgrade

  • STCW First Aid - CPR

  • Boating Safety FL / AL

If you’ve ever dreamed of becoming a licensed captain, winter is the perfect time to start.


Hands‑On Boat Training — Learn to Drive Your Boat with Confidence

We offer private boat training for new and seasoned boaters who want real‑world skills and confidence on the water.

Training includes:

  • Docking & close‑quarters maneuvering

  • Navigation & local waterways

  • Anchoring & mooring

  • Safety procedures

  • Emergency handling

  • Confidence‑building at the helm

We teach on your boat or a rental, giving you practical skills you’ll use every time you leave the dock.

Certified Courses Available

We proudly offer:

  • NauticEd

  • SaferBoater

  • Large & Small Powerboat Courses

These courses can qualify you for insurance discounts, safer boating certifications, and real‑world competence.

We provide professional vessel management for:

  • Sailboats

Services include:

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
