Every book has an origin story. For Captain Ron Smith, the seed of his new release was planted during quiet evenings on the water, when boaters needed something to pass the time.
“I wanted to write a book people could grab on a rainy day when they couldn’t go boating,” Smith explains. “Something they could pass around like we did with Jaws or The Perfect Storm. Those books got dog-eared and worn because they meant something to us. I wanted to create that same kind of experience.”
What began as a simple idea has grown into a published book that captures the imagination of readers far beyond the docks. Smith’s stories of fishing, boating, nightlife, and coastal living are now reaching readers across Amazon, local bookstores, and his own website.
The book reflects Smith’s adventurous personality and lifelong relationship with the ocean. He has spent decades exploring its challenges and joys, from reeling in massive fish to laughing with friends in beachside bars. His writing is cinematic, easy to read, and infused with humor and optimism.
The book’s release is especially meaningful in Rhode Island and Florida, where Smith has strong ties to the boating community. Local bookstores in Newport, Narragansett, Cape Coral, and Naples are among the first to carry the book, allowing readers to connect with a voice that feels both authentic and local.
“I wanted to keep this book grounded in the real world,” Smith says. “It’s about experiences, not fantasy. These are things I lived, and I want people to feel like they’re living them too.”
Smith’s goal is simple but powerful: to inspire people to try new things and embrace adventure, regardless of age. “If I can encourage even one person to step out of their routine and try something new, then I’ve succeeded,” he notes.
The book also serves a dual purpose for Smith’s professional life as a yacht delivery captain. By sharing his ocean experiences, Smith is not only entertaining readers but also building connections with yacht owners and boating enthusiasts who may benefit from his expertise.
Looking ahead, Smith is preparing to release a second book focused more specifically on his travels as a delivery captain. With countless stories still untold, readers can expect more ocean adventures in the near future.
For now, this first release stands as both a love letter to the sea and an invitation to readers. As Captain Ron Smith says: “Life’s too short not to live it fully. I did it. You can too.”
