Reg Bates takes North South south

Reg Bates North South Nautical

Jan 10, 2019

Long time GTA broker Reg Bates is joining NSNG and will be dividing his time between downtown Toronto and the Caribbean. Believe it or not, it’s been 17 years since Reg moved to St. Maarten. His extended time in the islands has given Reg extensive knowledge of the unique Caribbean market, where he has served customers looking to expand their sailing experience by graduating to a bluewater cruising boat experience.

Reg is very familiar with the logistics of registering, mooring, storing and maintaining vessels in the Caribbean. In addition, he can offer his customers custodial care services for their vessel offering people in Ontario the chance to ‘keep a boat in the Caribbean in the summer’ and fly down and use it in the winter.

Reg, born and raised in Toronto’s Beaches neighbourhood, operated out of the Outer Harbour Marina for many years and brings to this affiliation many years of experience in the Canadian Market. As for the St. Maarten location, Reg will be based at Port Cupecoy Marina, on the Dutch side of St. Maarten, widely recognized as one of the finest Marina properties on the Island.

Reg will be joining his colleagues at the North South Nautical Group Booth [#1737] at the Toronto International Boat Show.

Just when you thought you might never see the Galley Guys again, there they were waving from the flying bridge of a Le Boat Horizon 3 gliding down the Trent Severn Waterway (TSW) in the sun. Glorious!

In the past the Galley Guys have travelled far and wide to great locations to explore the good life on a boat. However, this year we stayed in our own backyard for a real treat; cruising The Trent Severn Waterway.
