Team

3C Yacht Services, a group of professionals coming together with better ideas for better customer relationships with a commitment to ‘No Surprise Billings’.

We believe a company is less about a name and more about the professionals who take pride in their workmanship. We feel it is important for you to know who is working on your vessel and their level of qualifications including their education and experience. We will provide you with a copy of each professional’s certificates upon request, as well as they can be verified with “Skilled Trades BC”, formerly called ITA-BC.

Know your professional: You contract with a company to look after your vessel, but do you know who is really working on it? Use this tool to verify ANYONE’s trade certification with Skilled Trades BC

This section will introduce the professionals that will be working on your vessel. We encourage you to get to know them – you can chat with them in the web portal, and will quickly understand that our professionals take a high pride in their workmanship, so you can take high pride in your ownership!

Technical

Raymond Albers, ACSM, RSE
Red Seal Heavy Duty Technician with marine certifications and experience, with a background in business management (ACSM) and IT (IBM Education and Dell).

  • ITA Certificate #:00084-HD-17; IPSE #: K-06-102044
  • NMEA Marine Electronics Installer #3135

  • 2024 Canada Raymarine

Raymond lives within a 5 minute walk from Canoe Cove Marina, and as a foodie is passionate about his small orchard of lemons, limes, and other exotic fruit that he grows here in North Saanich. Raymond and his wife host private dinner parties in the orchard during the summer and fall.

“The safety of everyone on board your yacht depends on its reliability. Who would you trust working on your baby, to ensure this safety: a Red Seal Certified Journeyman Heavy Duty Mechanic, or ‘just a someone’ who has completed a 3 day ‘diesel mechanics’ course?”

The Heavy Duty Technician program is a 4 year, 7,200 hour apprenticeship program with formal training on big iron equipment. Recognized throughout North America, the Red Seal endorsement (RSE) is ‘the Best of the Best’, and certified Canada wide. Raymond was top in his class and consistently made the Dean’s list each year. Your expensive high performance engines are in good hands with Raymond
