Having the radio or phone calls at the beginning adds a lot to the videos. I stay on land so any additional info, even info on each vessel, would add to your videos. Even knowing how you collect payments, not the amounts, for each rescue would be neat. It is impressive how easy you make each rescue.
I use the EZ Captain Hooks, my previous boss developed them, I recently took the business over. They’re on my website captainretriever.com Hoping to keep providing them to the towing industry, because there’s nothing else like it that can handle the load, and they’re taken off the trailer eye just as easily..
I'm originally from Ft. Lauderdale and I remember the 3 pm afternoon 5 to 10 stupid strong storms and then the suns back out and NO ONE can breathe lol. From the steam. I moved to North Carolina. Not as bad here but it can still get pretty hot. But it's not like South Florida lol.
Awesome. What percentage customers have tow insurance vs paying out of pocket? As cheap as it is I can't imagine not having insurance but people have different circumstances.
@@dwawa23 most people have towing coverage, but it doesn’t cover taking on water, beached in a surf zone, fires, and stuff we consider salvage. That falls under hull insurance typically liability covers the recovery & fuel spill prevention, and full coverage covers the damages to your boat
How much does this cost to be honest for you the recover and the boat owner I’m down in California. Been thinking about getting into the business been around boats and plenty of boats myself sometimes used the same techniques except once we got it on plane, we used a second boat alongside while we were towing to throw the pump in just to help out what can I charge for the service if I decided to go business or they with it because normally it’s a case of beer but I truly wanna know because we’ve been venturing into ocean people instead of river people so I want to know if it would be worth it
They’re pretty good overall,some corrosion on the lower unit, just stay away from anything fly by wire. Having to replace the second throttle body on our only fly by wire boat.
@@CaptainRetriever Roger that. I have heard that Honda motors are better quality and dependable. Thanks for the reply. I have been thinking about replacing the Johnson on my Mako 17 with a Honda.
@@rickbacon9150 our biggest selling point is the gear cases overall are very durable, we bury them in the sad, get banged around by surf, put over 1000 hours on them & the impeller looks new, etc..
I always heard removing the excess maintains viewer attention. I watch videos on here, and think just get on with it, but I’m a different type of viewer. I know some people just want to put a show and let it roll. For me it would have to be something entertaining with more dialogue to do longer, but Im typically solo so it’s hard.
Dude-I disagree! I think your videos are a great length, what more would you show? Unless you have more jobs? I would appreciate an in depth tour of your boat with specs on how much line you keep on your spool, what lines you prefer, the pumps setup, what tools you have etc
@@CaptainRetrievernew sub and I agree, cut the chit chat, show the rescue and recovery, onto the next one. Unless it’s an actual tv show, I typically won’t watch a video over say 25mins, id rather watch 5-10 5min videos full of action.
I have to tell you, you are so good at these recoveries. You make it look easy, knowing it isn’t. Thank goodness there are people like you out there.
This mans channel is a master class in multitasking. Good work!
Lol, still gotta throw camera angles, audio, and paperwork in. But I can do anything around the house according to my wife
Yeah it is.

Excellent job! No panic, no fuss, just raw professionalism.
I just started working for a Towboat company in Texas - Been enjoying your videos and learning from you!
Mahalo again! You rescued the folks off the beach and re-floated the boat, and all by yourself! Amazing!
Worth watching just to see that sky in the beginning. Those clouds were awesome. As are you
What a guy so calm and matter of fact. Dude Kudos from Canada.
Your a true professional at your craft
Great work as always.
Another great video I love it
Great video. How did you connect to the front eye with that pole? That was great but could not really tell in the video...

@@CaptainRetriever Thanks what a great invention!
2 quick questions, how much did you charge them and what about pumping any gas oil back into the ocean again?
@@felineferious9633 no fuel or oil leaking, just billed a few hundred, easy job and they didn’t have much money
@@CaptainRetriever wonderful news, glad everything worked out well. Great job!!!
Interesting channel. Just found it.
Is part of the problem too heavy an engine for the boat or is it a basic design problem with the transom being to low to the water?
@@ATH_Berkshire probably a little of both, an enclosed transom is always the way to go
Very nice job!
What an interesting occupation you have there. Subscribed.

Looks like fun little boat
What camera do you use?
Excellent !!!
What kind of boat are you running year make size?
Nice job.
In emergency situations like this do they get charged? Just trying to understand the line between paid assistance and emergency assistance?
Emergency is getting the people off, paid is getting their property back.
@@CaptainRetriever Thanks for the explanation sir!
will that motor ever run again?
Great job!!!!!
What a cool way to make some $$. Way to go capt!
Curious as to how much you charged them for that retrieval?
@@wpbjim 500, industry standard is +200 a foot but those little boats aren’t worth that & none are insured.
Cool sky
Skill and experience = make it look easy.
That was awesome!
Good one Cap. and weather dont look good.
I 100% thought were in for it lol. Definitely got lucky lol
How much is that tow cost??
Hey, Cap'n, how do like those Honda outboards?

@@CaptainRetriever sounds good. Thanks, again. I reckon I should now talk to my local marine dealer. 😏
Good job.
how much money did this cost the poor guy more then the boats worth ?
A good job.
You are a stud
5 people in a 15' boat, what could go wrong?
Im surprised they got that far, there’s no consideration on the water these days..
you can tell he isnt just a "worker:
Longer Vid's, please! I'll stay subbed for longer, like 20 min plus, please!

That boat has very low cut transom with no motor well, and a lot of weight aft.
Lake boat
Boy that is not much of a boat to be out in open water
Yeah that’s a 1-2 person lake boat
Illegals?
Lol, no we have a large spanish speaking community in Florida
@@CaptainRetrieverwatching you in action it almost makes you forget you are also filming!
Good job.
