About Us

Our Start

Our Mission: Keep Your Boat Turnkey

Founded in Massachusetts and now serving Palm Beach, Barnacle Beaters was built on the belief that yacht owners deserve stress-free boating. From detailing to full refits, we handle it all. Our founder, Reed Shachoy, grew up on the water as a fisherman and captain — and now brings that same passion and discipline to yacht management.

Our Start

Barnacle Beaters:Your Trusted Yacht Management Team

Founded in 2018 by brothers Conrad and Reed Shachoy, Barnacle Beaters grew from a summer job into a full-service yacht management business. Raised on the water in Marion, Massachusetts, we turned our passion for boats into a profession, expanding from cleaning boat bottoms to full-scale yacht care.

Serving New England and expanding to South Florida in Fall 2025, we offer yacht management, detailing, sportfishing outfitting, project management, and marine electronics installation . We treat every boat as our own, ensuring top-tier care and attention to detail.

Let us handle the hard work—so you can enjoy every moment on the water.

Brands We Carry

Barnacle Beaters fully maintains my 43 Freeman from tackle to teak. They keep her stocked, detailed, and tournament-ready — I just show up and fish.

Our 38 Viking is handled top-to-bottom by Reed’s team. From detailing to crew services, Barnacle Beaters makes ownership effortless.”

Reed and his crew did an awesome job detailing our 22 year old Ocean 43. After multiple steps of sanding and compounding, finishing with a high tech ceramic coating, the boat shines like new. They are the hardest working crew around and their attention to detail is fantastic.

Barnacle Beaters completed a full refit on my 39’ Duffy and absolutely nailed it. The boat looks and performs better than ever. Their team was professional, detail-oriented, and easy to work with from start to finish. Highly recommend.

I bought a used Viking just a month before the season and needed a lot done fast. Reed and his crew at Barnacle Beaters absolutely delivered—new electronics, fresh upholstery, a full ceramic coating, bottom job, plus they dialed in the engine, Seakeeper, and generator perfectly. The boat feels brand new, and I was on the water right on time. Couldn’t recommend them more! — Chris S.

I had Barnacle Beaters detail a center console I was selling and they made it shine! After a couple days it was returned to me looking brand new and just a few weeks later it was sold.

Five star service these guys are super professional and made my boat look new again!
