"To all diving friends and family,
It is with great sadness that I must inform you that Captain Rob’s Dive Charters is no longer. Over the past five years we have struggled financially to make this thing work. Recently the note on the boat came due and we were unable to make things work despite many attempts, some realistic and some very unconventional, nonetheless we failed. We hoped, up until the last minute that we could make this work. I am truly sorry that this has happened and I apologize for any inconveniences that this may have caused you. Maybe in the near future we’ll find another boat, but until then this is good-bye.
Thank you for five great years of diving and fun at the Isles of Shoals I’ll never forget it!


I’ll see you out there,
Captain Rob

And the crew; Liz, Julia, Neil and all the rest who silently (or not so) kept this ship afloat.

When one door closes another opens…"

It is with an extremely heavy heart that I write this letter.

We will be unable to fulfill our charter obligations for the unforeseeable future. Due to the legal troubles and subsequent freezing of assets incurred by my sole investor, we will not have the necessary operating capital required to run an operation such as ours. If a solution isn't immediately forthcoming the boat will be listed with a broker and all fees will be refunded at the time of the vessel's sale.

I understand that you will all be disappointed and probably even angry with the realization that this letter brings. One thing that I would ask of you is to ponder the fact that nobody involved could possibly be more disappointed than I am. I have literally put everything I had into the acquisition and subsequent refitting of this vessel. To have the foundation and financial support I built this business on removed so abruptly has been a staggering endeavor to come to terms with.

I will thank you in advance for the patience that I hope you will afford me in the near future.

Sincerely,

Capt. Michael Jensen
