About Us

DEAN, ALKA & SLOW DANCE

We are Dean and Alka Bromiley and we bought Slow Dance in October of 2015. She is a George Buehler designed Diesel Duck. Her vital statistics are; 48ft length, 14ft beam, she draws 6 feet and weighs 80,000Ib. Built on Lake Ontario, Canada in 2000 and launched in 2001. She has traveled extensively down the river system to the Gulf and throughout the west coast of America through the Panama Canal and to the Chesapeake Bay where she came into our lives, we are the third owners of this vessel. Her former name was Rusty Duck, in a future blog I will explain why we kept her name as Slow Dance!

Captain Dean

"Being a boat owner, I always look at other boats! I think we all do this and some may argue that this is driven by a desire or curiosity to have something better or bigger or simply just different. For me, it was the nagging realization that ultimately, I wanted something that we could live on and that could safely take us very long distances, a quest that could not be satisfied with the boat we owned at the time. One day I happened upon a unique looking trawler advertised by a broker I know. It was a 48 foot steel Diesel Duck and her configuration represented well, the description of a sturdy long range trawler. This was my first glimpse of Slow Dance."

First Mate: Alka Bromiley

"I have never owned a boat only dreamt of it until I met Dean. I am British yet he is a New Zealander so boating is in his blood, early in our relationship I could see Dean's passion to always have a boat in his life. When we first met, he owned a Nordic Tug 39 and as beautiful as she was we didn't utilize her as often as we should have. We very quickly realized that we had adventurous dreams that she couldn't help us to achieve. We spoke in-depth about selling the Nordic Tug and either leaving boating life completely or doing something totally extreme. Of course we don't do things by halves and when Slow Dance made an appearance for the first time and I saw my husband's eyes light up, I knew that she had to be apart of our lives."

Still a proud New Zealander!

“In the August of 2015, a few days after seeing her advertisement my wife and I drove the two hours to Solomon’s Island where Slow Dance was on the hard. The boat was a mess having just been delivered from Cartagena but I could see great promise in what she offered. Within two months of that initial viewing, my wife and I became the proud owners of Slow Dance and hence began a journey of ownership and quest that, on many occasions, has proven challenging but most importantly, has given us the possibility to realize and build upon our dreams.”
