Chesapeake Area Professional Captains Association
We are a professional organization for Coast Guard-licensed captains who operate primarily on the Chesapeake Bay and the East Coast of the United States.
Although our captains' licenses range from small passenger vessels to oceangoing ships, the bulk of our members operate boats of 100 tons or less—such as tourboats, water-taxis, towboats, and charterboats. Some also work as instructors and delivery captains for transporting recreational boats between ports.

CAPCA Speakers Bureau
Need a speaker for your yacht club or professional organization? Ask one of our Coast Guard-licensed captains.
After you submit the form, our speaker’s bureau coordinator will get back to you soon.
Our members have a wealth of experience—on the water and in classrooms—that gives them the knowledge and background to provide guest-speaker presentations on a host of maritime-related topics, from seamanship and navigation to radio operation and basic first aid for boaters. Let us know a topic that interests you, and we’ll take it from there.
CAPCA provides this as a public service to the maritime community. There's no speaking fee or charge.
