Captain Shawn D. Mercer

25 Ton USCG Captain

Both my parents were teachers, so we moved to camp each summer and did not have a TV. I had a couple of three wheelers, a canoe and a sailboat. Being on and in the water was an every day, all day kind of thing. I got my first blue water boat about 10 years ago, and started building my skills on bigger vessels, sailing out of Bucksport, and then Muscongus Bay, and more recently Casco Bay, Maine. I started my professional sailing career in 2021, and have been running my charter & delivery business since then.

My effective communication skills foster rapport with colleagues and clients, allowing for collaborative and non-confrontational interactions.
