Canyon Lake resident and longtime boat owner, Dustin Smith, knows all about the pleasures and pains of boat ownership. Having owned many different types of boats over the years, he is familiar with the differences and requirements of each type.

Dustin and his wife, Lora, have enjoyed many weekends on their cabin boat which they keep in a slip at Cranes Mill Marina. After so many weekends and holidays, they have become all too familiar with what it takes to enjoy the boating lifestyle. Arriving and departing always seemed to take up a lot of time when all they wanted to do was untie and be on the water as quickly as possible. Then there was the deep clean they performed a couple times a year often requiring the boat be pulled out of the water. Dustin often wondered why such a service wasn't available.

For a number of years, Dustin spoke about the lack of services available to boat owners such as top to bottom cleaning and concierge assistance. He dreamed of what he would do about if he could. The opportunity finally presented itself. With his boat knowledge and passion for the water along with Lora's business and customer service experience...Below the Belt Services was born.
