Port Captains

What is a “Port Captain”?

Port Captains are CPS members who stand ready to assist boaters in their area.

Port Captains provide reliable information on the area, and comradeship to visitors. Port Captains keep information on hand that a visiting skipper may request over the telephone, such as:

  • Navigation hazards which may not be apparent on current charts;
  • Location and telephone numbers of local doctors and dentists who are willing to treat a transient patient;
  • Location and telephone numbers of ambulances or rescue squads;
  • Location and telephone numbers of mechanics, repair yards, sail repair, marine fittings and marine equipment stores; and
  • The closest source of provisions, recommended restaurants and motels.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Recipients of information from Port Captains should realize that the information is given in good faith and to the best of their knowledge, and that the Port Captain, and Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons, can not be held responsible for any loss or damage that may be sustained as a result of the advice offered.
