⚓️ CL Rogerson Yacht Delivery and Captain Services
Professional. Precise. Experienced.
When your vessel needs to move, it deserves more than just a delivery, it deserves a mariner with a story.
I’m Captain Craig Long—known on the water as CL Rogerson. I hold a U.S. Coast Guard OUPV and 100-ton Master, along with Sail and Tow endorsements. I’ve logged thousands of nautical miles across the Atlantic, Caribbean, Gulf Coast, and Great Lakes. From catamarans to classic sloops, center consoles to luxury cruisers, I don’t just move vessels, I command them.
With decades of experience at sea and a white-glove approach to logistics, I bring your boat home like it’s my own, safe, efficient, and always under the watch of a captain who’s been there and back.
