Cruisers Home Port™ Mail Service

We have been providing Mail Forwarding Services for LiveAboard Cruisers since 1988 and are very proud of our reputation in the Cruising community.

Our Cruisers Home Port Mail Service is the 'Flagship' Mail Service for Cruisers and is our most popular Mail Forwarding Service designed especially for you. In addition to all the benefits provided with our Travelers Special Mail Service, at this level, you can take advantage of our Discount Marine Supply program. If you purchase the normal amount of "boat stuff" every year, you can save enough money to totally pay for our service!

Also, if requested to do so, each year upon receipt we will act as your Agent and sign your US Coast Guard Vessel Documentation Renewal notice. This is included as part of the Cruisers Home Port Mail Service, free of charge.

With the Cruisers Home Port Mail Service you may have as many or as few mail shipments as you like. We are open Monday through Friday from 9am until 5pm, Eastern time. If you call before noon, we will send your mail shipment out the same day... Guaranteed. You may also set up a schedule, i.e..., once a week, twice a month, every other Thursday... anything you like. We are very flexible.

Costs:
mailing services At St. Brendan's Isle there are no sign up or yearly fees. You open your mail forwarding service account with a $100 deposit. Then each month a service fee of $13.99 is deducted along with any mailing charges you have incurred. When your account balance drops below $10 you make another $100 deposit in your account. Typically this is done through a credit card transaction. Each month you receive a detailed, easy to understand, statement itemizing every credit and debit to your account.

Please note... Exclusive to SBI:

For all Mail Service levels, we make keeping track of your mail and your account balance easy. Each shipment of mail you receive from us is automatically numbered sequentially. Your mailing label will have "SN:1", "SN:2", "SN:3", etc. so you will always know if all your mail packets have arrived just by checking the Shipment Number. We also count and record the number of pieces included in each shipment for tamper evident security.

Each month, subscribers are provided with a computer generated statement of account that lists each shipment, the number of pieces of mail shipped and the Shipment Number. Also included are all debits and credits posted to the account during the statement period.
