VESSEL DOCUMENTATION SERVICES - Santa Barbara, California

Simon Evers

Maribeth has been the equivalent of a guardian angel for me as a boat owner. She has been an invaluable resource when it comes to any and all filings with the USCG related to my beloved sailing vessel Kudra. From the moment she got involved during the purchase process in 2020, seeing through USCG documentation, fielding inquiries and offering advice while cruising through various countries, keeping me informed of impending deadlines and processes for renewals across a number of years - to executing a bill of sale and USCG deletion while guiding me through the sale of the vessel in a foreign country to a non US citizen - she has been there every step of the way. What would have been headache after headache and an incredible puzzle for me to solve, she made easy and stress free. Not only that, she does everything with a kind personal touch, always incredibly responsive, always thoughtful and caring. She truly goes above and beyond. When my broker in Panama wanted to use a different agent for the required filings during the sale, I insisted that we bring Maribeth into the fold - I wouldn’t trust anyone more than her. She’ll stick with you through it all! Maribeth’s Vessel Documentation Services has earned in me a client for life. Highly recommended!

Maribeth has been my godsend in dealing with documentation, on a couple different boats. Very professional and effective at getting things done, that I would find impossible to do myself….
And the latest foray: she completed and set my world at ease, within the hour !
Nothing but praise from me

Marybeth was very kind and patient helping me get through all the red tape. She is very knowledgeable and knew the ins and outs of getting me what I needed. The most impressive thing was how prompt she was in returning my calls and emails. There is a 3 hour time difference between me and her, but she always accommodated me with a quick response to all my questions.

Maribeth was a huge help in completing the documentation with a very difficult seller and a broker who does not appear to understand the USCG documentation requirements. Her services definitely crossed over into consulting services way beyond the scope of services we contracted. When we brought this up an offered to compensate her for the additional work, she refused saying it was all part of the service.

We never would have gotten trough the process without her.
