“Mercedes was a thorough and knowledgeable partner bringing our Jeanneau SO 440 to the Bahamas last year (2023). Her decision making was careful and well-reasoned, and we felt confident that our boat was in great hands. Mercedes has a wealth of knowledge both about seamanship and systems. She can handle any situation with calm. We would not hesitate to call on her again. --#2 Jeanneau 440

​Mercedes with huge help crewing our trip from Florida to Nassau in 2023 & 2024. Her knowledge of sailing and teaching us the finer points was very helpful during our trip! She is familiar with the mechanical and electrical systems on sailboats, which was great when a few of our systems broke down. She also is very knowledgeable at forecasting and  departure planning, and giving us options.  We were glad to have her aboard.  Patient, kind, and a pleasure! --Morgan-Catalina 44
