Ben, you were reading my mind. I'm considering an Axopar down in Southwest Florida where beaching is inviting. I've crossed oceans but never beached a power boat...so thank you for this!
Hey Ben, Nice video, and as always, was nice to chat with you at the boat show in Boston this year. Any chance you’d be willing to share the general location of that beaching area? Like to check it out this summer. Thanks!
Shallow water operations can be quite tricky. The only thing I would add is, if you aren’t familiar with the boat and/or approach, don’t risk it. A beaching attempt can turn into a stranding or sinking very easily. Destroying a 1/3 to 1/2 million dollar boat would be terrible.

Absolutely! Our pleasure, thanks for watching.
Don’t recall seeing one of these before. Thanks for the tips!
You bet! Glad to help.
Per always, encouraging me to expand my horizons with my 37!
Glad to help!
I typically drop a rear anchor which works great for both offload and perm stay
Thank you Ben, I’ve always wanted to beach but never had the courage. Will give it a try!
Glad we can inspire you to give it a shot! Just take it nice and slow, and watch out for those tide changes!
Dammit that is a beautiful boat.
Great video. So, generally speaking how far out will you anchor then given the tides? Or are you just chauffeuring for the day?

Most definitely! We filmed this in Casco Bay off the coast of Harpswell.

For sure! Great advice.
