About Boat Solutions Group, LLC.

Our mission at Boat Solutions Group, LLC is to unite fans from around the world, creating a community of openness and enthusiasm. Since before you were born, we’ve been a valuable resource for world conquerors, with important news and updates! We never rest on our laurels and are always looking to improve and expand our sailing offerings. We’ve helped folks like Leif Erickson, Columbus, Magellan, Drake, Ernest Shackleton, Sir Francis Chichester and others achieve their successes! So, if you need your boat delivered, we can do that. If you want to just talk about boats, we can do that. If you just want to watch us cruise around, that’s cool too!

Boat Solutions Group (BSG) provides fully qualified US Coast Guard (USCG) licensed captains to deliver your vessel, whether it’s a yacht, power boat, or sailboat. In our travels, we have logged more 20,000 nautical miles [that’s 1.2 statute miles x nm = 24,000 for ye landlubbers].

Our consultation services help you plan your purchase, delivery or sale of your vessel. ​In addition, we provide you with estimates for weather, routing, and costs before your delivery. This way you know what to expect.

If you are re-fitting for a long cruise, or just wish to upgrade your boat, we can assist you in finding marine equipment that suits your needs.

Boat Solutions Group has been around for quite some time. It started out informally and has grown over the years.   It’s only now that we have the time to formalize and organize it into something we can share with our friends, associates, and you.

We’ve been messing around with boats for some 40 years now. Over those years, we’ve learned from our mistakes and misdeeds. We’ve also developed strong and lasting relationships with suppliers, vendors, and other experienced sailors. To that end, we offer our expertise in deliveries, consultations, unique boating products, stories, and our unvarnished opinion.

Our Vessel

SV FIASCO 1988 AMEL SHARKI Hull# 163

It’s an Amel. What a boat! Way back when Bruce Bingham was still drawing cats under oil lamps, and I was just a wee novice in the sailing community, I came across this boat at the Annapolis Boat show. I had read everything there was under the sun on ocean going yachts and design and knew in my mind's eye a proper vessel.

My Dream Boat

SV FIASCO 1988 AMEL SHARKI Hull# 163

I knew what I wanted, but no such boat existed…. or so I thought. Then I saw the Amel. I went aboard picking the boat apart looking for flaws; none found. I was in love! Asked the broker how much? $1 million! GAG… So…30 years later, the prices of used boats came down, my income went up, and I finally got my dream boat!

Henri Amel

Master Boat Builder

Henri Amel, who was born on 16th April 1913 as Henri Tonet, was fascinated by sailing from a very young age. At the end of his teenage years, he began sailing on small yachts. He started to build boats in his bodywork business in Paris. After being called up for war, he continued his boat-building activities in Lyon. He was wounded in one eye during the war and lost his sight completely shortly afterwards for several years. But Henri Amel never gave up his dream to build yachts that would be robust, comfortable and easy to manoeuvre. Learn more about Henri Amel here: https://www.amel.fr/en/lhistoire/
