About Us
Built by one boater.
For owners who want it done right.
I started Apex Coastal Tech after watching the same scene play out at every dock I worked: an absentee owner driving in Friday night to a boat that wasn't ready. — Devin Madewell, Founder
Apex Coastal Tech is founder-operated. The same person who commissions your boat is the one inspecting it next month — and the month after that. No call-center handoff, no ticketing queue, no franchise rotation.
The fix for absentee-owner anxiety isn't more labor. It's a documented, repeatable protocol applied to the same boat, the same way, every visit — and a Digital Twin in your Flight Deck portal so you can see exactly what was checked, when, and how every system has trended over time.
I currently serve owners across Navarre, Pensacola, and Destin. Center consoles, sportfish, flybridge cruisers — if it floats in Northwest Florida and the owner wants it watched the right way, I want to talk.
How It Works
Precision Care. Every Visit. Every Time.
What Drives Us
Our Values
Precision First
Every inspection follows the same 100-point protocol, every single time. No shortcuts, no guesswork — just verified, documented data.
Owner-Centric
You own the vessel. We work for you. Full transparency into every check, every reading, and every issue — no information withheld.
Excellence on the Water
We hold ourselves to the same standard as the vessels we manage. Premium service isn't a feature here — it's the baseline.
Built for the Gulf Coast
Salt air, tropical humidity, and the demands of Northwest Florida coastal boating — we understand the environment your vessel lives in.
The People
Built by hand, on the dock.
Apex Coastal Tech is founder-operated. Every steward we hire trains directly with him before stepping onto a client’s vessel.
Founder
Devin Madewell
Founder & Lead Steward
Grew up on the water — much of it spent stranded, troubleshooting boat problems the hard way. Built Apex Coastal Tech because the same problem kept showing up at every dock he worked: an absentee owner arriving Friday to a boat that wasn’t ready. The protocol you see on the services page is the one he runs personally on every vessel under management.

Stewards
Hand-picked field crew
The founder has already passed a full federal background investigation — documentation available on request. When the route grows, he personally trains each new Steward and every future Steward will pass a national criminal background check before stepping aboard a client vessel. We post real names and photos as the team grows. No stock avatars, no fictional bios.
