The invention is directed towards a boom assembly attached to a side of a parent ship, for capturing and refueling smaller vessels at a safe distance from the parent ship to enable refueling while the parent ship is travelling at about 5 to about 8 knots. The boom assembly includes a first boom segment and a second boom segment pivotally connected to each other, with the second boom segment connected to an upright pivotable post. The boom assembly includes a vessel capturing device for capturing the smaller vessels. The boom assembly may be adjusted to a stowage configuration and an operational configuration.
