Transfers · assistance towing · delivery
From the dock to your stern, and back. And out to you when it goes wrong.
Guests, crew, provisions and parts between the East End and your anchorage, priced per run. And when a yacht can't move under her own power, a tow, anywhere we can reach.

What we run
Five kinds of run
Every run is quoted: tell us where, when and how many, and we come back with a price the same day. Customs and marine park fees are billed at cost.
01 · Guests and crew
Dock to sternRed Hook, Compass Point, the Ritz-Carlton dock, Cowpet Bay, the seaplane. Out to the boat at anchor, or in from it, with the luggage.
02 · Late and early
Arrivals and departuresA late arrival out to the yacht at anchor after the last ferry. An early departure in for a morning flight. Runs after 18:00 are quoted as such.
03 · Shipside delivery
Alongside, not to a counterProvisions, laundry, parts and spares brought alongside at anchor. Same day for anything on our shelf. What's on the shelf →
04 · The BVI
Across and back, dryGuests, crew or paperwork across to the BVI at 28 knots. Passports on the dock at 07:45 for a morning crossing; clearing in is not something we can hurry.
05 · Water
250 gallons to your tanks, or a watermaker by the dayWe bring 250 gallons out and pump it into your tanks alongside. Or rent a 50-gallon-an-hour portable watermaker by the day, delivered and connected, and stop counting. Both quoted with the run.
Anywhere from Charlotte Amalie east to Coral Bay, including Christmas Cove, Great Cruz and Francis Bay. Outside that box, or the BVI, we quote the run. If something breaks at anchor on a Tuesday, Loaded Lines comes to you with a spare.

Assistance towing
Dead engine, fouled prop, dragging anchor. Hail us.
Anywhere we can reach. A tow back to a mooring, an anchorage or a yard; a RIB for small boats; and a hand getting onto a dock when the wind is wrong.
01 · Yachts
A tow to somewhere safeEngine down, prop fouled, rudder gone: we come out, put a line on, and bring you to a mooring, an anchorage or the yard of your choice. Daylight first; after dark we come if we can reach you safely.
02 · Small boats
A RIB for dinghies and tendersA dead outboard off Christmas Cove doesn't need a tow boat. A RIB comes out, and your tender comes home.
03 · Dockage assistance
Onto the dock, off the dockA push on the bow in a crosswind, a line run ashore, a boat held off while you sort a fender. The things a second pair of hands and a second boat make easy.
Hail on VHF 16, or call. Tell us where you are, what's wrong, and how many are aboard. We quote on the call and tell you the truth about how long we'll be.
