neutral  Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X): I don't believe it says highly specialized..like that boating/sailing ..offering our services to be grammatical
9 hrs
  -> I included "highly" as an added option to consider, hence the parenthesis. As for the grammar, "our" is fine (though hardly obligatory, in this context). "Its" is the third person singular, often used in advertising.

or
We are a boating/sailing team for hire.

I quite frankly don\'t think the specializada is needed in English.

That is precisely what your teacher or tester wants to see..if you see that \"nautical\" here in not nautical!

neutral  Marcelo González: I think the use of "for hire" changes the more formal register of the original (and may remind some of less reputable professions "for hire," as well).
