Our History

Suncoast Port Services was founded in 2022 with the desire to provide customized maritime services 24/7, 365 days a year. It all started with friendship and a conversation over a cocktail and a cigar about the need to provide quality, on-time services in the Port of Tampa. Founders Friedel Scholl, Jeff Sweet, and our silent partner spent countless hours analyzing how to improve in-harbor services. Using their combined 30+ years of construction service experience and 15+ years of maritime knowledge the Founders vision of Suncoast Port Services evolved into a full-scale concierge company unlike any other.

Our Philosophy

We consider ourselves offering white glove service in a blue-collar industry. You may think we are simply a maritime company. While we do offer a wide variety of maritime services, we are really in the "efficiency" business. We offer a personalized maritime concierge experience by putting our knowledge of the Tampa Bay Area and Port of Tampa to use creating efficiency, on-time delivery, and high-quality port services. We believe that customer service, safety, integrity, and honesty are at the center of each relationship. During your time in port we are efficient in our execution and clear in our communication. When we are hired to meet your needs in port, our clients spend less time at berth and more time at sea. 

Our efforts are driven by:

  • Delivering value through our reputable port services

  • Ensuring our commitment to customers through excellent communication

  • Industry leadership through our esteemed knowledge base and commitment to safety

  • Effectively managing our customers' needs to minimize operating costs 

  • Ensuring honesty in all actions we undertake
