Simon has been so encouraging and has helped us feel comfortable in a previously uncomfortable space. We strongly recommend him to anyone who is looking to gain some skills or get better at a specific task. Tunas marine is definitely our go to place for instruction! I am so happy that Simon was recommended to me.
It has been such a pleasure working with him. He is very patient and very calm when giving instruction, especially when you are not grasping concepts! Working with Simon has been outstanding and I would recommend him to anyone learning to strengthen their boating skills, children or adults alike. Simon has been teaching me to drive my family's 20' Mako, and it has been a great experience.

I hold my father fully responsible for the love and respect that I have for the water. Aged ten, a tatty Cornish-built 27ft sail boat arrived on a trailer towed by a Land Rover. That summer we spend two weeks as a family learning to sail dinghies on a lake in France. Aged 13 I was sailing myself around the sheltered harbour of Falmouth in Cornwall.
We can be as involved in your day to day boat management as you feel necessary. Whether you would like us to handle every aspect from season start to finish or simply help with one troublesome aspect, TMS can help. Choose an individual boat management service or let us create you a custom full service package that matches your requirements.
Depending on your requirements we will coordinate and execute the safe storage of your boat at one of our storage facilities. Our base service includes; collection from her slip, removal from the water and transportation to storage location.
As part of the service we will check on her monthly, change out chemical dehumidifiers as necessary to keep your interiors and lockers mould free, rotate trailer wheels, bearings and brake systems to prevent ceasing and long term damage.Prior to long periods of storage we recommend that you consider winterizing your engine(s) and fresh water system, cleaning/detailing and dehumidifying your boat.

Failure to conduct timely and annual servicing of your boat lift can often lead to interrupted boating leisure time. Boat lifts should be serviced and lubricated at the start of every season. They should also be run periodically during the winter months to prevent damage to the motors. See our Boat Management service for more information.
With the ever changing and unpredictable nature of the weather in North Carolina TMS has developed an "SOS" service that allows boat owners to simply say the word and we will safely extract their boat from the water and deliver to a pre determined storage location in preparation for adverse weather.

As a new boat owner, I needed help with boating techniques. Thank goodness for Simon! He breaks down boating skills and maneuvers in easy to follow steps. He is extremely knowledgeable, and working with him gave me the confidence I needed. This was a worthy investment of time and money. I highly recommend Tuna's Marine Services

Simon has been teaching me to drive my families 20' Mako, and it has been a great experience. The ability to have a neutral person, who is encouraging, as well as makes it fun and relaxing to learn to drive a boat has been terrific. I give Simon my highest recommendation!

I am new to boating and needed someone who knows how to handle a boat and knows how to teach to spend some time with me on the water in my boat. Simon is that unique person who has a lot of experience on the water and knows how to patiently convey his knowledge to a beginner. Before Simon worked with me, I could not confidently get my boat out of the slip, out of the marina and into the ICW. I spent 3 hours on my boat with Simon. We spent half the time in the marina doing maneuvers and the other half in the ICW. I learned how to pivot the boat in tight spaces, dock alongside, fuel the boat and
