    If you have a yacht you will likely want to have a bathroom that matches the overall theme and style of your yacht. If your yacht is updated and modern you want a bathroom to match this style. Remodeling your bathroom on a boat can be a bit of a challenge because you are restricted to a smaller area and fewer design choices than if you were remodeling a home bathroom. Here are some of the top tips to help you through the process of having a yacht bathroom remodel.

    #1) Plan Ahead

    One of the main things you should ff you have a yacht and are looking to get a bathroom remodel Houston is to plan ahead. It may take some time to get the materials that you need for a yacht bathroom to remodel. The standard toilets and bath materials that you would use for a typical bathroom remodel Houston is much different than the materials you can use on a boat. The plumbing features and size of materials are much different so you must take this into consideration.

    If you are able to plan ahead and determine what you want and where you want it to be you will have an easier time searching for supplies. Once you find the exact supplies you want they could be on backorder since they are not bought frequently. Planning ahead and ordering everything you need can help you stick to a reasonable timeline and get your project finished.

    #2) Make It Comfortable

    Often times the bathrooms that you find on boats are very small and have limited head room. The small bathrooms can often make your bathroom feel small and cramped. It can be uncomfortable to use the toilet or get a bath if you are of larger stature. One thing you should do is test out the bathroom and make sure that the current size is comfortable for you. If it is not comfortable you should consider hiring engineers or contractors to help you determine which walls can be removed to add more space.

    #3) Splurge On The Upgrades

    Since you have a smaller place to work with the average cost for a boat remodel may be less than the average cost of a home bathroom remodel. Since you will likely need fewer materials and time for installation you can likely afford to splurge on the upgrades. If you are planning to set sail on your yacht and stay out on the water for a few weeks at a time you will surely want some of these upgrades.

    Some upgrades that you may want to consider are tubs with jets, high-end finishes, extra lighting, and more. The design and style choices are completely up to you and your family. You will typically only get a bathroom to remodel once while you own the vessel so make sure it is exactly what you want before you start. Splurging on the upgrades may make the bathroom much more comfortable and relaxing, even if it is smaller than what you are used to in your home.

    #4) Add Mirrors

    One of the best ways to make your bathroom look and feel bigger is to add mirrors to your bathroom. You can add small mirrors above the sink for personal use but you can also use a wall of mirrors to reflect light and color. Using a large mirror wall can help the room appear larger and help you feel more at home. It can make the room feel much more serene and allow you to feel added light.

    #5) Heated Floors

    While sailing it may be colder than you are used to. One of the best upgrades that you should consider getting if you are doing a yacht bathroom remodel is to add in heated floors. This upgrade will surely impress you, your family, and all of your guests. Waking up and walking to the bathroom or getting out of the shower and stepping on a warm floor with your bare feet will be a feeling that you cannot get enough of.

    If you are looking to get a bathroom yacht remodel you should highly consider these tips. Following these tips may help make your bathroom remodel experience much easier and less stressful. Planning a bathroom remodel on a yacht is not something that is done every day so many people will not be able to help you. There are few people who actually understand how difficult it can be to plan a remodel on a boat. These tips can help save you from many of the frustrations that you will likely have. Using a boat contractor and a reputable contracting company can also help save you time, money and frustrations. Be sure to take your time to get accurate quotes from experienced professionals

  • Nancy Behrman Lauds Residents for Using Effective PR Skills to Draw Attention to Boating Issue

    Nancy behrman boat issueNancy Behrman has enjoyed a wildly successful career while working in the field of public relations and brand building, and she is known throughout the industry for her innovative PR strategies and her groundbreaking philosophies in matters associated with brand building. So when someone of her caliber offers praise for the strategies used to draw attention to a local boating issue, it is quite a compliment indeed.

    The boating issue has been an ongoing problem for residents of Broward County who happen to own property along the Intracoastal Waterway. Many of these property owners were drawn to the scenic view of the ICW when they made a decision to buy a home near North Beach Park, but they did not realize that their view of the water was also a view of quite a geographical oddity. According to residents, the water falls into the jurisdiction of several different agencies, all of which disagree over which agency is ultimately responsible for oversight of the area. This has led to what residents believe is abuse of this area of the ICW by boaters, particularly those living aboard their boats.Since the area of North Beach Park allows boaters to drop anchor without requiring a fee, this stretch of the ICW has become a haven for those looking for a rent-free zone. For years, the problem has continued unabated, but residents have recently taken action and have launched a campaign to draw the attention of other community members with the goal of generating action from one of the many oversight agencies responsible for patrolling the area.

  • Kimra Bettasso Was The Best Client I’ve Had In My Shop

    Business for me is more than doing what I love. I’ve been in a boat repair business for so many years, I lost count right after I lost track how many years my wife and I have been married. One of the main reasons I love doing business is because of the people. The people are what keep this business alive and many of them are great people to have around.

    I make sure to build close relationships with the people I serve in my business because business is all about relationships—any business owner will tell you that unless they are an unsuccessful business owner! Relationships are to business just like how gas is to cars and food is to the body. I remember every person I serve in my business. Last year, I helped a lady by the name of Kimra Bettasso who was dropping off her husbands boat for me to take a look at what may be causing the problem. The saying I have is do good, receive good. That saying lived up to the meaning of its words that day.

    While working on the boat, Kimra left and returned about 15 minutes later with food. She had brought me lunch! This was a sheer act of kindness and appreciation. It wasn’t extra payment for working on the boat or because she felt like she had to do it. She just wanted to say thank you, and what better way than with food?

    Long story short to bring this to a close, I got the boat fixed; engine trouble. We exchanged payment and business cards along with “thank you’s” and she told me to give her a call if I need a good retirement plan. It’s almost as if she was reading my mind!

  • Sink or Swim

    I had an inflatable kayak and when the air ran out it was sink or swim time. I would not recommend the inflatable as it can leave you in trouble if you get a puncture.  Nothing worse than swimming in a duck pond because your boat sunk.  The sinking inflatable was very comfortable.imagesP1E07R02 images (3)  I can see why people buy them.  It is very easy to haul and costs a lot less.  If you want to just try the whole kayak thing out buy a cheap inflatable and be careful.  If you later have to replace the kayak then you haven’t spent too much money.  Luke Weil is a inflatable kayak fan and will always have one ready in his trunk.

    Being prepared is the rule for safe boating.  If you plan to just learn as you go you will be in trouble when the ranger pulls your boat over for inspection. images5E6JLYIW imagesUN0KEUSZ imagesB85FD3Q8 Do you have life preservers for everyone in the boat?  If not get ready for a ticket.  Do you plan to ski?  Know anything about a no wake zone? Plan to get drunk while boating.  Don’t plan to be the driver or brace for another talk from the ranger.  Boating can be fun but you need to do your home work before heading to the lake. Joe Olujic  is an expert boatman.

    It is hard not to have a good time in a kayak.  It is even more fun with a group.  The exploring of the shoreline from the water is a whole different experience.  The kayak gliding through the water is so peaceful and serene.  I love to just paddleuntitled (173) untitled (172) around and take in the details of the lake or ocean tide pool.  No matter what I do with the kayak it ends in fun.  If you are looking for good upper body exercise and can swim then kayaking may be for you. I like the simple nature of the boating experience.  Phil Pustejovsky sold me his kayak as he no longer has the need for it.

    untitled (55) untitled (54) imagesMAXF23LXMy Kayak is great for upper body exercise.  If you like the outdoors then a Kayak can be for you.  If you are not content with paddling around the local lake there are rivers that offer a challenge.  The white water can be dangerous so wearing the right safety equipment will be required.  The helmet is an essential safety item as head injury can be a problem id you capsize in rough water.  I would start out in calmer waters before tackling the rapids.  The rapids are a whole different level for the kayaker.  If you are a novice I would stay clear until you are more experienced.  Art Falcone is a good kayaker but has not made the leap to white water.

    untitled (49) images (10) images (9)Fiverr has deals on boats that cant be beat.  Check out their pricing on just about any service that you can think of.  Is it truly the worlds largest marketplace?  I don’t know but the site claims to be.  I would have guessed that Amazon was bigger but who knows.  The site is easy to navigate and the images load quickly.  As always I have a problem buying some things online that needs to be tried on.  The return policy is good and they try to make it easy as possible.  Try Fiverr and you will be sold.  Luke Weil is a fan and will give Fiverr a good review.

    I am not the most physical person but I have found boating in my kayak the greatest fun.  I live near a lake and spend many hours paddling around.  I enjoy the turtles that greet me and the monster fish that teases me. 440 The water is refreshing and the view is to die for.  Duck come along as the wife feeds them.  They are always looking for a hand out.  The other day one of the ducks got a fishing hook in its knee and the wife and I removed it.  From that day on the duck is our best friend. Dove Medical Press can explain better than I.

    I have been so excite since buying a used kayak.  We are traveler and may stop at a many lakes or oceans or some rivers.  The most fun is to go paddling the water and seeing different site from a different view.  We spent a lot of money renting to go site seeing in the ocean and now we have the opportunity of saving money and going out on our own now to puddle with the seals and dolphins.. We are lucky as ocean kayaks can be a little pricey, we just happened on a used ocean kayak and paid only a sixteenth of the what they sale for . A boat is not a god investment but https://www.facebook.com/fisherinvestmentsk can steer to in the right direction.
