Anyone looking to do business with these scumbags should think again. The ceo rhonda lee dubois is a liar and unbelievably ignorant.
My fmily was the victim of a boat theft where the thieves first lied to police saying they owned boat then changed their story to money was owed. They used florida statute 328.17 after being caught with boat.
During the taking of the boat thieves told police a disgruntled employee was fired and took thiefs boat. Anyone reading this knows a federally documented vessel falls under maritime law. They also know under maritime law you must have a court order or federal marshall arrest the vessel. You cannot go take it yourself without court papers.
Then while taking it tell police " i own the boat"
Cvi ceo moron made some very false statements on posts that not only were so false they were befond belief. What scares me is she runs a security compnay and has the braisn of a pea.
Firts let us look at the statute they stole boat under 328.17
Here are comments written by a top maritime attorney in north florida on this subject...

In Florida, Does a Marina Have a Lien on a Boat which left the Marina without paying?
Category: General
Prior to 1978 in Florida, marinas had no liens on boats under Florida law, although they did have a maritime lien under general maritime law.in 1978 the Florida Legislature gave marina owners a possessory lien on boats at the marina in a statute which now is identified as Section 328.17 of Florida Statutes.
However, once a vessel leaves a marina, it loses its possessory lien. Florida lien law is then preempted by federal maritime law. See Bernier v. Broward Marine, Inc., 504 So. 2d 1379,1381 (Fla. 4th DCA 1987). Then it is just like any other lien holder. To enforce its lien, it needs to arrest the boat in federal court and assert its lien there.
"it needs to arrest the boat in federal court and assert its lien there."
You see dumbass du bois you must arrst the vessel not claim a b.S. State statute then go take it..
Now seeing the ignorance of rhonda lee du bois president of cvi maritime armed scurity inc. We will show you how bright she is by her statements...

Price of vessel
That is an old party barge, 2 small engines. A coast hugger, as it can not go far off shore it must stay close to land, it was use as a commerical vessel it's only worth 15,000 a MAX... If that end of story!!!
If anyone wants, cut and paste the pix to anyone who knows vessels and they will tell you them same thing. If he paid more, then he is a fool!
Anyone knows a corinthian catamaran with glass bottom viewing port with two like new evenrude dual 225's is worth alot more than that.
Corinthian sent a replacement cost of my vessel which was 200k not including engines...

I just saw the vessel in question
I just saw the vessel in question
This is not a yacht! This is a party barge, nothing more nothing less. Why are you misinforming people of what type of vessel this is? There is a very very big difference in a Yacht and a pontoon boat aka Party Barge. It's like saying diamonds are the same as broken glass.
You can never compare the law of the land to the law of the sea, and that is what you are doing. Just as you compared a party barge to a yacht.
I stated where you went wrong in my other comment. But after reading everything and looking up the vessel in question. I can truly state.
You Sir have blamed a public official for not doing his job, When the truth is you went to the wrong person. The proper channel is Tallahassee not the D.A. Of Monroe Co.
And that fact can never be changed, no matter how much you wish you could change it.
After reading everything you stated about the D.A.in Monroe Co. Sir you truly should be ashamed of yourself, you're blaming an innocent man for your lack of knowleadge of how to handle maritime matters in the proper fashion.
First off anyone reading this can go to the florida yacht and ship brokers act definition and it will state what a yacht is...
(4) "Yacht" means any vessel which is propelled by sail or machinery in the water which exceeds 32 feet in length, and which weighs less than 300 gross tons.
Well mine was 45 feet...
Are you following rhonda lee du bois...
What a dumbass just proved two of her statements were seriously false...
Heres another statement made by rhonda the white trash ceo..
"I thought you were maybe a little confused understand maritime law as it is 100's of years old. But this is not the case."
I think its you who are confused. Call a maritime attorney like rod sullivan before you open that big mouth of yours and check the facts out.
Then she posts on rip off for me to call her, i called her tonight then she tells me not to call her.
This just shows what a liar rhonda lee du bois is and her ignorance..
Would you want a security company protecting you whos president and ceo is obviously ignorant...
Her last comment i want to comment on..
"I'll give you a good piece of advice. Know when to walk away"
Well white trash looks like youve been proven wrong and that only took a couple minutes to show your stupidity.
Next time you want to open your mouth and make comments know a little of what your talking about, by the picture i saw of you on the internet, i can see where stupidity comes into play.
My advice. Stay in the security business, obviously your not smart enough to comment on maritime law...
* who the hell would want to hire this moron???
