Small Beginnings, Big Dreams
[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”18″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]From personal experience I have seen how many boaters struggle at the boat launches throughout BC. Many boaters only launch and load one time per season. I worked a prominent marina for many years and I’ve seen it all. It was commonly referred to as the launch ramp show, pull up a chair and have a laugh.
I personally always felt the need to help, unfortunately when working as an employee these decisions are not decisions employees make. The need to help is one of the many reasons Dry Dock Marine Group was established.
I have a thorough passion for boats and enjoy putting smiles on other people’s faces when it comes to anything boating related. Dry Dock Marine Group employees, all of them even the book keepers, will be there to help if they see any boater struggling.
Our members enjoyment of their boat is our utmost priority. Dry Dock Marine Group will do whatever it takes to ensure our members have a truly fabulous, worry free day on the water. Dry Dock Marine Group is leading the charge in how people enjoy and capitalize on their investment.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”62″ down=”0″][q_button type=”normal_button” size=”small” icon=”” target=”_self” text=”GET IN TOUCH WITH US TODAY” link=”https://www.drydockmarine.ca/contact/”][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”94″ down=”0″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” type=”grid” in_content_menu=”” text_align=”left” background_color=”#f8f8f8″ css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1566845210565{padding-top: 45px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
A bit of Background on Luc, Owner of Dry Dock Marine Group:
[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”12″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]I guess we start at the beginning of my passion for boats. My family used to summer at a small complex of cabins on osoyoos lake when I was a child. My first real memory of boats was in Osoyoos during the summer of 1985. I remember when we arrived, it was hot, really hot but that didn’t matter. There it was a Banana Yellow Hondo flat bottom jet boat with a huge big block engine. My mother tells the story something like, “We arrived and you disappeared, we found you an hour later 5 cabins down with that banana boat.” Over the course of the week I had many rides and lots of fun behind that jet boat.
Skip forward 20 plus years, with an array of employment ranging from commercial truck driver, body shop guy, drilling rigs and many custom cars later. I had a friend ask me to polish his boat the same way that I had polished his car. This led to my first attempt at running my own shop. I teamed up with a gentleman who was buying boats from repo auctions in the USA and importing them to Canada. I applied my skills to many of the boats that he brought to Canada, but eventually the boat importing stopped and so did my attempt running my own shop.
Shortly after I became a member of the amazing team of owners and staff at Shuswap Marina. I have L. Seys and her son G. Seys to thank for putting me in the position to grow my skills and further my knowledge of boats and their major systems. Thank you both and all at the marina staff for all the years from 2010- 2017.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”95″ down=”0″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_column_text]My knowledge and confidence of boats has grown from the basics, to technical installations such as trim tab systems, radar, electronics, NMEA 2000 systems, ballast systems, holland marine bow thruster, stereos, 12v and 110v electrical systems, all manner of plumbing, and retrofit/restorations of many vessels.
From boats washing up on shore, sunken boats, on water vessel rescue, racking boats, trailering oversize vessels, packing the storage building with sometimes centimeters to spare. It has all led to this, Dry Dock Marine. I keep my equipment immaculate, I can show you that. I want to keep your equipment in the “WOW! Nice Boat” immaculate condition. Take all the headache and hassle out of your day on the water. All you should be doing is enjoying your investment. DDM will do the rest for you.
I feel blessed to have a passion for my job, as the saying goes ” if you love your job it’s not work at all”. You are probably wondering, what brings you to Vancouver Island Luc? Well I grew up on the Island and my entire family lives in Ladysmith. Samantha and I decided that Marek our son needed to have a closer relationship with his family. My son is my driving force, I really hope that his love for boats continues to grow. I would be a happy man if he takes over DDM someday.
Looking forward to working as the Boat Concierge on your boat, Luc.
