Sales, Service and Support
for the Carolina Boating Community

Jeff James is the owner of Barrier Enterprises, the parent company that encompasses several ventures including vessel management, sales, service and project coordination. Jeff has over 25 years experience in the fishing and boating industry. He works on a regular basis with many of the most dependable service providers in the marine industry including boatyards, electrical and mechanical contractors, diesel and outboard mechanics, electronics technicians, propeller services, divers, detailers, machine shops, welders and fabricators, carpenters, upholstery, canvas and enclosures, surveyors and painters.

Maintaining a good working relationship with all of these people is paramount in being able to offer a dependable management experience for clients that expect a job to be done on time and within the budget. Knowing their capabilities and having an idea of their schedules also lend toward a smoother overall outcome. This knowledge benefits sales clients as well, who may be curious as to the possibilities of refits or upgrades on a potential purchase.

The familiarity with the service side and the ability to think ahead ensures the good chain of communication that is necessary when dealing with boat related projects, which have a tendency of running too long and costing too much if left unattended or if the service provider can't get answers they need, in a timely manner.

We strive to offer this dependability whether dealing with a yard project, a new build, a dockside issue or a boat sale scenario. We are available all the time and have the resources available to get nearly anything accomplished one way or another. When you need any kind of help with a boat, give us a call and we will do our best to try and assist you by any means necessary.
