About Us
SeaKist Services is a core team of three: Chris Stanley, Kelli Doll, and Carlos Caal.
Chris has been sailing and working on boats over fifteen years, first up and down the US east coast, the next four years in the Eastern Caribbean, then over nine years with Kelli on their new/old sailboat on the Gulf Coast and now the Western Caribbean. Chris' background is mechanical/electrical engineering, first with six years in the US Navy and then thirteen years in a co-gen utility - earning a Chief Engineer, unlimited horsepower license. Chris currently has a ham radio General license, and a HVAC Technician certification for refrigerants.
Kelli has been living on boats over twenty-four years, working in marine-related jobs and traveling up and down the US east coast and Bahamas, then joining Chris on the gulf coast and now the Western Caribbean. Kelli earned a USCG 100-ton Masters license while captaining fishing/diving/snorkeling boats and a 97' dinner-cruise vessel, and has worked for years using her PADI Dive Instructor certification. Kelli has also owned and operated a successful marine canvas business in the Florida Keys (Mañana Canvas), and worked as Head Swim Instructor at the YMCA in Hollywood, Florida.
Carlos hasn't lived on a boat, doesn't want to either, but he does want to work on them and his experience shows in the quality of his painting and varnishing. Carlos has been a full partner of SeaKist Services for over seven years, and is half-owner of The Crow's Nest marina. Carlos is the guy you want to hire for hull cleaning, painting, and varnishing at Texan Bay!
