Cheoy Lee 100

by admin on July 13, 2021

Quoted from owner by his request:


Congratulations on  another job well done and another happy customer. I am pleased to recommend Capt Vander Veen to anyone who is lucky enough to retain his services. We had major challenges because of COVID restrictions and Canadian US Border issues. Nothing gets more complicated than that and Capt Jerry never flinched. He took all issues as his own and with very little supervision got the job done in the best interests of all parties. I never would use anyone else for transporting my vessels through international waters. Thanks again Capt Vander Veen.

Jerry I am not that good with internet so I will ask you to post this recommendation on your site. Thanks so much. Peter

Moving yachts across the Canadian/USA border

by admin on October 13, 2020

Yes I can, yes I have. My credentials consider me to be essential services. This does not mean that I can cross as before the Covid-19 restrictions, and there are multiple hurdles to cross. I truly respect both nations’ desire to slow/stop the spread, and I’m honoring those wishes. I’ve moved somewhere between 15-20 across since the restrictions. Please contact me via the tab above.

Knots (boat speed) Explained

14 April 2014
