From buying your boat and launching it; from boat safety and operation for the entire family; through dock and maintenance advice or being your captain for the day, Ted the Boat Guy is there for you.

Want a sounding board... somebody who knows a lot about boats when you're choosing what to buy? especially used boats. Ted can be there for you. Need help backing the boat trailer into the launch area? Ted's a whiz at that.


Based on the best accredited programs around, Ted will cover all the bases so you can truly enjoy your boat and you can relax when your spouse or progeny are out on the water without you. Ted has worked with a lot of teenagers.
Tired of having to be the one in charge of the boat all the time. If you just want to take in the scenery, Ted would love to take the helm.


Ted will set your dock up for your boat to make coming and going so much easier. He'll let you know what routine maintenance you should know about. A little TLC goes a long way in extending the life of a boat.

Ted will show you the ropes – and the gauges and how to read the water – all things you need to know to take the stress out of the boat ride. Even when somebody else is at the helm.
Your boat cost a lot of money. The price of running it into things is expensive. The fines for improper operation are expensive. But none of that compares to what it means when someone is injured.
If you don’t learn the right way to do something from the start, it’s hard to develop those lifetime habits that keep you safe, your passengers safe and your boat in top condition.
Learning how to operate a boat should be enjoyable and Ted makes sure everyone has fun. You might have to put up with some salty tales – he can’t help himself – but his goal is for everyone to have a great time while they learn to do things right.
Ted has a home in Meaford and a cottage in Muskoka so, if you're within 90 minutes of either place, Ted would love to hear from you.
