Hey All,
I recently just opened up a hull cleaning and basic dive service company in Rhode Island. I have a few questions. My business is a partnership and we will be running the business as well as being the divers. We do not intend on hiring. We understand that it is for the most part seasonal work up here with the exception of commercial fishermen, ferries, and companies that rely on the water to do their work. We are both certified through the Navy in SCUBA and through IANTD. Yes we are still active duty but with weekends off and the current ship we are assigned to in dry dock for 2 years, we have some time on our hands. I am very appreciative of all the information I have obtained by reading everyone post on the subject and through emails with Fstbttms. I have a few questions for all of you in the business. 1. What insurance do you use? For myself and my partner what insurance payments are we looking at spending per month? Is seasonal insurance offered? How do you pitch the hull cleaning service to marinas? Why would a marina allow you to work there? Doesn't that take away from their power washing/boat haul out business? Do you find that a lot of business comes from people just seeing you on the job in Marina? Anyways those are just some questions I have for now. Any information is appreciated! Also Named the company Hull Speed Ahead L.L.C. (Seemed fitting) - DockRunner
